For centuries, he was only a vampire. Then he was chosen by one of the Ancient Ones to carry Santa’s magic, not to cure him, but to offer him purpose. The name Nicholas Samichlaus came with the role, along with the burden of keeping his hunger in check. Each Christmas, he delivers joy to the good, relying on his last reserves of strength to finish the night. But when the holiday ends, his hunger returns, and for twelve nights, he feeds on the naughty to survive. This year, something is different. He falls for the Interpol agent closing in, and the memory of the woman he once loved begins to haunt him. He fears history will repeat itself. To stop the monster inside from hurting her, he does the unthinkable and drives a stake through his own heart. Instead of dying, he’s transformed, reborn as a human, where Santa’s magic still burns strong inside him.
