Plot summary
L.A. is divided between the haves and the have-nots. Those in luck seem to have tanned good looks, toned bodies, riches and more. Some have-nots are beginning to grow tired of it.
Lily Pierce is a motivational speaker who founded New Life Foundation, an organization sweeping across the country. Its mantra is: "Erase doubt. Erase fear. Become pure of purpose. Perfect in execution. Attain your dreams." Cordy's not impressed with Lily's message, but she doesn't suspect Lily is holding a secret of epic proportions.
Wolfram & Hart puzzlingly soon want Angel's help to stop the insanity, but is Lily's hope of a perfect world tempting to Angel?
Continuity
- Supposed to be set in Angel season 3.
Canonical issues
Angel novels such as this one are not considered to be canon by most fans. Instead, they are novels from the authors' imaginations. However, unlike fanfic, the authors wrote 'overviews' summarizing their stories early in the writing process and had them 'approved' by both Fox and Whedon (or his office). The books were later published as official Angel merchandise.
Characters include: Angel, Cordelia, Wesley, Gunn, and Lorne.
