Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy are all real. But they're nothing like who we've grown up believing in.Half Elf, Faryn Morozko is the illegitimate daughter of Mrs. Claus, and Nick Claus has made it his mission to make her life miserable. Coal in her stocking would be a nice gift compared to what she gets from him and his reindeer every year. On Faryn's 23rd Christmas, Nick goes missing, and the last person he was seen with was Faryn when she followed him into the woods. To say she was angry as hell at the time would be an understatement. Now accused of his kidnapping and possible murder, Faryn is forced to flee her home in Oxford if she wants to clear her name. But it won't be easy, not when she's hunted by her cousin, Jack Frost, and if it weren't for Cassian Etend, the Tooth Fairy's heir, she'd be dead at the hands of her cousin.Accused of being Faryn's accomplice, Cassian is forced to help Faryn prove her innocence, all while believing she's guilty. But Cassian is Fae, and Elves and Fae are known for stabbing each other in the back--quite literally. With the help of Peter Ton, the new Easter Bunny, and a Leprechaun named Clíodhna, Faryn may stand a chance of finding Nick and making sure that whoever took him, doesn't take her mother. If she fails, she'll be locked in the ice dungeons of the Frozen City, doomed to be remembered as the villain who killed Ol' Saint Nick.…

Left alone in the Society by Jonas, Iris finds herself "blackmailed" by Colton when she stumbles in on him. Dying inside, Colton is fed up with being melodramatic. His cousins have had enough. He's the Beta, and it's kind of difficult to intimidate peasants when he's bemoaning his fate in life. When an accidental photo of Vienna with the Prince and Princess of France appears in a newspaper, Colton is determined to have Vienna back, traitor or not. His family's not in charge of him. The Society isn't either. And if they are, he really doesn't care anymore. When Iris (and Bently) discover Colton's plan, Colton forces them to come with him to France so they don't divulge his future whereabouts before he can depart. Once there, Iris finds Erik in a worse state than when she last saw him, while Colton and Vienna. . . well who knows if they'll ever actually get back together. They've got about as many problems as Iris and Erik.Every moment Iris is in France she grows more anxious that Jonas will find out where she is, but when dead bodies start showing up with Expiration Dates tattooed on them, the monarchy forces the Beta to take action, sweeping Iris into a dangerous invasion for Earth amidst the glittering, bewitching lifestyle of the French court.Highest ranking: #6 in Scifi…
