Anna Kendrick transfers to Denburg High with one mission: keep her heart locked up and her distance from everyone-especially charming, cocky football players. But Liam Wilbert lives to get under her skin. He's everything she can't stand: arrogant, popular, dangerously good-looking-and far too interested in her silence. She pushes him away. He pushes harder. They argue. They glare. And somewhere in the middle of all that heat... feelings start to bloom. She wasn't planning to fall in love. He wasn't planning to fall so hard. But love doesn't care about plans.

In the wintery world of the North Pole, a forgotten heir to the Claus legacy seethes with resentment. Kael, the banished son of Santa's own outcast brother, has grown up in isolation, fueled by a hunger for love and acceptance. As the years of rejection and neglect take their toll, Kael's heart freezes, and his mind becomes consumed by an insidious plan. He will reclaim the throne of Christmas, but not to spread joy and cheer. Kael's twisted ambition is to redefine the holiday in his own image, one that celebrates the beauty of darkness and the power of the unloved. With an army of trolls and a mastery of great power, Kael sets his sights on the North Pole, and the world at large, determined to overthrow Santa and claim Christmas as his own. The fate of the holiday hangs in the balance, as the forces of light and darkness clash in a battle for the soul of Christmas. Will Kael's thirst for power and love be his downfall, or will he succeed in forging a new, twisted tradition? The true meaning of Christmas will be tested, and the outcome is far from certain.

Crown Princess Hanna Maeland, a whirlwind of fourteen-year-old optimism, stared out at the frosted peaks of Alta. Prince Lucifer's Frost Plague, a creeping curse of icy cruelty, threatened to engulf her adoptive kingdom, and with it, the other six Norse realms. The weight of seven kingdoms rested on her slender shoulders, a weight she carried with surprising grace. Her sister, Aliza, Crown Princess of Gehenna, sought refuge in Alta, her own past shrouded in dangerous secrets that could unravel everything. Their enrollment at Krauxorth Academy, a prestigious magic school, offered a glimmer of hope - a place to hone their skills against the encroaching darkness. Aliza, haunted by whispers of a betrayal that could ignite a war between the kingdoms, clung to Hanna's unwavering spirit. The sisters, despite their vastly different backgrounds, found solace in their shared destiny. Hanna, fueled by her innate kindness and courage, knew she couldn't rely solely on magic. She needed to understand Lucifer's motivations to find the weakness in his icy grip. The ancient runes whispered of a hidden sanctuary, a place where the plague's source might be stopped, but the path was fraught with peril, guarded by creatures born of frost and shadow. Hanna, guided by her enchanted brooch and compass, and her fylgia, a spirited canary named Marigold, knew the journey would be perilous. Armed with her wit, her burgeoning magical abilities, and the unwavering support of Aliza, Hanna embarked on her perilous journey. The path led her through treacherous ice canyons and haunted forests, testing her courage at every turn. The fate of Alta, and indeed the seven Norse kingdoms, hung precariously in the balance, yet Hanna, the ever-optimistic princess, pressed onward, her heart filled with hope and a fierce determination to banish the Frost Plague and secure a future bathed in the warmth of sunlight and sisterly love.
