Blending holiday folklore and mythology with contemporary holiday magic in a little Colorado mountain Holiday town with HEAs, high-heat, low-angst, inclusive writing, and lots of neurospicy, queer and fat rep!
Ella's supposed to be celebrating the holiday season with her beau at the idyllic Frostvale Village in Colorado, but he's sucking face with his co-worker under the mistletoe instead. When a blizzard hits, she prepares for a lonely Christmas until the North wind blows more than just snow to her door. It's Yule and Lwyd, a trick-or-treating zombie horse fae or Mari Lwyd, drunkenly leaves the orchard party next door, to sing a carol on Ella's welcome mat when she opens the door. Ancient voices whisper to Lwyd that Ella is his fated mate. He'll do anything to win the traditional rap battle that will gain him entry past Ella's front door so he can pillage more than just her pantry. He's got his sights on Ella's heart, but he's the one who melts at her gentle touch.
