Produktbeschreibung

Everything you know about Santa Claus is a lie.

And that's just the way she likes it.

She remembers nothing of her real parents. She was abducted as an infant by a band of fairies who taught her all she knows. For as long as she can remember, she's been obsessed with orphans, magic, and ice. She's forever spying on children in the real world, hoping they will shed light on her own beginnings. Everyone calls her Key, but no one can tell her why.

Now, in the year 1660, on the fledgling Dutch island of Manhattan, Key must take a stand against madmen who would eradicate the world of magic forever. Spirited and guileless, Key fights for the ones she loves and watches as her legend springs gloriously to life.

Human beings have been the authors of so much of her pain, but she knows in her heart that she can make them better than they are. If she can get to them when they're young enough, she can teach them wrong from right, naughty from nice. Her real name is Kris Kringle, and this is how her story begins.

From a winner of the Derringer Award comes an epic origin story of the world's most beloved magician, as you've never imagined her.

Note: Contains mature content. Not intended for children.
