A Christmas Carol tells the story of bitter and miserly Ebenezer Scrooge and his ideological, ethical, and emotional transformation resulting from supernatural visits by Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come.

When spoiled Prince Waylan is sent to a monastery to cure his mischief, an ambush leaves him lost, amnesiac, and mistaken for a shoemaker's apprentice. As he fumbles through labor, exile, and the disdain of a girl who sees right through him, the kingdom begins to unravel. As two kingdoms are caught in a generational war, evil King Thrustborne seeks to destroy the true heir to his throne, hidden somewhere in Waylan's homeland. One of the prince's five childhood companions-a charming knight, a musical archer, a female blacksmith, a lady dragonmaster, or a humble shoemaker's daughter-may hold the key. Now, they must join together to save their world. In a tale of mistaken identities, medieval robots, and trainable dragons, Waylan must decide who he is without a crown-and whether legacy is something you claim, or something you earn. An original story, not a fanfic, mild battle action, clean romance, suitable for all ages. Book 1 in Ark & Wist Books series.
