Synopsis

For centuries, the North Pole has searched for Servant Rupert — Santa’s brilliant but treacherous assistant who vanished with secrets no one was meant to know. Neither cutting-edge tech nor ancient magic has uncovered his hiding place.

But Rupert has been hunting too.

He’s looking for the Pole — the one person on Earth who can truly see Santa. And he’s just found him.

Jakob Jablonski never believed in fairy tales, let alone that he might be part of one. But when Servant Rupert crashes into his life with a terrifying ultimatum — capture Santa… or everyone Jakob loves becomes coal — Jakob is pulled into a secret war between holiday legends.

Now, with a crew of rebel elves, rogue agents, and a sleigh-load of questions, Jakob must uncover the truth about Santa, Servant Rupert, and his own mysterious connection to Christmas itself.

In this fast-paced, magical adventure from award-winning author David M. F. Powers (aka Marc Franco), the fate of the season rests in the hands of a boy who never asked to believe — and who may be the only one who can save it.
