Publisher's Synopsis
The Winter holidays have arrived, and with it comes a resurface of memories and the chance to create new ones. Featuring five short stories about love, romance and family.
KÓRI... It is the Princess' first Winter Solstice - and her first Christmas at her mortal home in too long. She decides that it is as good a time as any to introduce Apollo to Phoebe. If only her mother's indelicate boyfriend was not there for the holidays, too. And at her first Somnus City Solstice Celebration in the Underworld, the god of light surprises her with a gift she had not even known she had not wanted. SØREN... The grumpy Trainer feels nothing towards Christmas anymore in light of past experiences when he was mortal, but his boyfriend Melchior is about change that. Even amidst the fun, however, a storm of insecurity and worry brews... CALEM... The son of Death only cares that he will not be alone this festive season, but the Spirits Pumpkin and Snowflake have a plan to make it a memorable one. While his attention is averted with preparations for Snow's 'Second Christmas', the girls aim to spoil him with just as much love as he has for the humans on Earth who are homeless for the holidays. ABIGAIL... There is the ever-anticipated tradition of the Secret Santa exchange in the Grim Reaper community, and to her absolute luck, Abigail has landed her latest crush as a victim. Now, if only she could find out what the aloof Reaper wants for a gift... THANATOS... The almighty god of death just wants a quiet, peaceful Solstice Day instead of the Court Beneath's City of Somnus usual fuss and ruckus. Nina craves a little of the opposite; desperate to see the lights, snow and to taste the pastries. Thanatos' solution is a secluded hideaway cabin in the surrounding snowy mountains, after a terrible first impression in the Somnus City square.
