A Dark Holiday World Novel

Three nights before Christmas, I end up on the wrong mountain.

I’m cold. I’m desperate. And someone is hunting me.

The cabin at the edge of the treeline looks abandoned.

It isn’t.

The man who opens the door is massive. Silent. Assessing.

He doesn’t ask my name.
He doesn’t ask why I’m here.
He steps aside and says, “Get inside.”

The storm traps us.
The mountain seals shut.
And the longer I stay, the clearer it becomes—

This isn’t just shelter.

It’s his territory.

He moves with purpose.
He watches with intent.
And when he touches me, something shifts. Something claims.

This Christmas, something ancient wakes in the dark.

And I won’t leave this mountain the same.
