In the early 1800s, Nicholas, Jessica, and Jon Santa attempt the first human trek to the North Pole and stumble upon an ancient race of people left over from the Ice Age. They are short, fat, and hairy. They slide across the ice on scaly soles and carve their homes in the ice that floats on the Arctic Ocean. The elven are adapted to life in the extreme cold. They are as wise as they are ancient.
Their scientific advancements have yielded great inventions— time-stopping devices and gravitational spheres that build living snowmen and genetically-modified reindeer that leap great distances. They’ve even unlocked the secrets to aging. For 40,000 years, they have lived in peace.
Until now.
An elven known as The Cold One has divided his people. He’s tired of their seclusion and wants to conquer the world. Only one elven stands between The Cold One and total chaos. He’s white-bearded and red-coated. The Santa family will help him stop The Cold One. They will come to the aid of a legendary elven known as… Claus.

Pure Christmas brain-candy–but sometimes you just need to treat yourself!
A odd twist to ‘Santa’ . Almost realistic.
Definitely an adult version of how Santa’s origins! Glad it all worked out for the big guy!
What an awesome way to look at an old story. Tony never disappoints!! Ever!! It’s kind of hard to explain what I liked so much about this book because it needs to be read and enjoyed by everyone. I have a feeling that each person will come away with their own appreciation for this story.
Really liked having a different view of Santa. My son is going to read it next. Plan to purchase series as soon as I can afford to.
It isn’t my style of book. I had a hard time getting through it. I couldn’t relate to any of the characters.
