Sura is sixteen years old when she meets Mr. Frost.
He's a strange man. Very short, very fat. And he likes his room cold. Some say inhumanly cold.
Mr. Frost's love for Christmas is over-the-top and slightly psychotic. He's made billions of dollars off the holiday and, according to Mr. Frost, a holiday he invented. Rumor is he's an elven, but that's silly. Elven aren't real. And if they were, they wouldn't be in South Carolina.
Sura takes a job at Frost Plantation that's strange and magical and, for the first time in her life, a place where she feels like she belongs. She'll uncover the mystery of what really happens at Frost Plantation and who's making all the toys. She'll discover the biggest secret of all--Mr. Frost hates Christmas.
Really, really hates it.
