<p><strong style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>SOME LEGENDS ARE BURIED. OTHERS CLAW THEIR WAY BACK.</strong></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Sura never believed in fairy tales. Honestly she barely believed in herself after losing her mom. At sixteen she takes her mother's old job at Frost Plantation figuring it's just a paycheck. Spoiler: it's not just a paycheck.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>This place is weird. Towers disappear from satellite view like someone hit the vanish button on Google Earth. Machines hum inside the walls like the house has a heartbeat. The staff speak in cryptic fortune-cookie riddles.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>And then there's Mr. Frost. He's brilliant terrifying and rocking a mysterious recluse vibe. Some say he's not human. Some say he invented Christmas.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Cool. Totally normal.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>And then she finds the secret. Two centuries old. Born of snow memory and myth. It's escaped from Frost's basement lab and it has a name: Jack. Not jolly. Not friendly. Definitely not the kind of Jack you want nipping at your nose.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Now Sura is knee-deep in a story that mixes elves science legends and the kind of holiday magic no Hallmark movie would ever greenlight. She's about to learn why her mom stayed quiet why Frost never leaves his tower and why the garlands never come down.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Because Christmas isn't ending with a bang or a whimper. It's ending with Jack.</span></p><p><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Jack: The Tale of Frost</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)> is a dark thrilling and slightly unhinged reimagining of holiday myth. It's about memory identity and discovering that sometimes fairy tales are real.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Unfortunately.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Perfect for fans of Katherine Arden's </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>The Bear and the Nightingale</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)> Neil Gaiman's </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Neverwhere</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)> Leigh Bardugo's </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Shadow and Bone</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)> and Terry Pratchett's </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Hogfather</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>.</span></p>
