Christmas killed me. Apparently, even death isn’t enough to get out of working the holidays.
I spent years managing Christmas logistics for a soulless corporation that didn’t know the first thing about true Christmas spirit. I always said it would be the death of me. I just never realized how true that was.But the afterlife is full of surprises. Now I’m enrolled at Christmas Academy, where Santa expects me to handle flying reindeer and untangle the impossible logistics of Christmas Eve so I can take over his job.
Over the next three years, I have to persuade twelve gorgeous elves to Bond with me. Their unique Gifts are the only way I can wield real Christmas magic. Each elf only gets one chance to Bond, and if I fail, every woman who chose me will have her Gift scarred forever. No pressure.
Every Christmas Eve brings a dangerous Trial. Pass, and I earn another year. Survive all three, and I get a new life as Santa Claus. Fail once, and I stay dead. Forever.
Krampus, the infamous demon of the season, has spent centuries sabotaging Santa’s would-be successors, which explains the Academy’s rather grim graduation rate. Now he knows my name, and he intends to make sure Christmas finishes what it started.
