Description

Before Santa Claus and his sleigh, there was Nicholas St. North, a daredevil swordsman seeking treasure in the fiercely guarded village of Santoff Claussen. But what Nicolas finds is the fiercely magical and feared Nightmare King and his evil Fearling army. Nicholas St. North discovers an enchanted world of fantastical creatures, magic forces that could make him extraordinarily powerful, and dangerous foes that threaten to destroy everything he holds dear. He will now begin a journey to becoming a great wizard and ultimately, the Santa Claus we know today.
