KIDS ARE VANISHING IN VICTORIAN LONDON. ONLY TOBY KNOWS WHY.
CAN HE SAVE THE CITY BEFORE FALLING VICTIM HIMSELF?

After twelve-year-old Toby Carter escapes a brutal workhouse at Christmas, he can't believe his good fortune. Adopted by a band of travelling performers called The Winter Freak Show who put on spellbinding shows each night, he finally believes he's found the family he always wanted. Then everything falls apart.

Children are disappearing throughout the city. Pretty soon, all evidence points to those Toby trusted the most and he finds himself caught up in a conspiracy far more sinister than he ever imagined. Defenceless and on the run, he's confronted with two options: uncover the kidnapper before another child falls victim, or stand by and watch as the shadowy criminal becomes unstoppable.

The fate of Christmas rests in the balance.

The Winter Freak Show is the first book in Daniel Parsons's spellbinding Twisted Christmas Trilogy. If you like vivid magic, fantastic creatures, and a race against time, then you'll love this thrilling fantasy adventure.All Rights Reserved

A Fair Account of the Traitors Snow White and Rose Red by GlassDryad

No one hates Snow White more than her younger half sister, Rosavere. Not since a star broke the world a thousand years ago and cursed humans with Grand Banes--powers never meant to be theirs--has there been a more traitorous tale. Snow murdered their father and was executed for her crime by Queen Estelle. But Rose's world is shattered when an ageless Snow reappears eleven years later and tries to assassinate the Queen. After a mysterious golden bear aids Snow's escape, Rose vows revenge on the ghost that still haunts her family. She hunts Snow across Albemar only to fall into the hands of a far more dangerous creature--Jack, a young man from a race of elves long thought extinct. Claiming the Queen enslaves elven children to create youth elixirs, Jack resolves to trade Rose's life to Snow to save the last of his kind. Both loyalty and vengeance waver when Rose discovers that a mirror forged from the Starfall may have warped Queen Estelle into a cunning monster. She must decide where her true allegiance lies . . . with the mother she's loved all her life, or the enigmatic half sister she barely knows. The closer Rose gets to the mirror, the more she realizes that generations of her family are tangled in its reflection--and the price to free them all will shatter far more than glass. New chapters coming every weekend! *Available as ebook and in print on Amazon.

Loki and the Kindergarteners Save the World (ONC 2023) by jusdubs

"There's something in the forest," was Charlie's response. "What?" Will squinted but aside from trees he saw nothing. "There's nothing there Charlie." When the girl shook her head, the beads from her braids clacked together. "Mr. P, there's something in there." Later, Will would wish that he had listened to her. What he should have done was run with his class and leave the school. He should have taken the children to their parents, gone home to Ben, and let the events that were about to unfold happen without him. If only it were that kind of story. *** When Will Payton took his kindergarten class on a trip to the woods, he never expected to find an ancient altar with runes carved into the stone. Nor did he expect that, upon dropping a handful of candies onto the altar, his class would unleash the Norse trickster god, Loki. But that's not all they awoke. With the end of the world on their heels and giant monsters out for blood, Will and Loki navigate the unknown while trying to keep the kindergarten class safe. All the while, Loki comes to realize that perhaps there's more to life than his penchant for trouble.

But in the middle of his frantic job search, he comes across an ad that sounds too good to be true: "Air courier desperately needed. No experience necessary, we will train you. Must be willing to relocate."

An ancient evil is plotting to shroud the world in darkness, and only Santa's gifts can keep the light of hope in children's hearts shining bright enough to push it back. Justin has less than a month to learn how to fly before Santa's yearly trip around the world. The fate of Christmas--and the entire world--depends on him. There's only one problem: he's afraid of heights.
