Christmas With The Yule Shepherd

In Hollowbrook Estate, children who peek at Christmas presents don't just lose their innocence. They lose everything.

Journalist Robert Price thought moving to Yorkshire would save his family. Instead, he's arrived just as an ancient predator begins its hunt. Every seven to thirteen years, the Yule Shepherd returns-a Victorian monster enforcing his twisted ideology through violence and enslavement.

Joshua Campbell is the first to pay the price. His body is found beneath the Christmas tree, throat cut, wounds that should be impossible. But the real Joshua has been taken to the Workshop-a nightmarish dimension where stolen children labor forever, their bodies turned grey and twisted as they build toys for a world that will never know their sacrifice.

As Christmas Eve approaches and more children vanish, Robert must descend into the Workshop himself to attempt the impossible: free 135 years of enslaved children from a monster who cannot be killed, cannot be reasoned with, and always wins.

Because the Shepherd does not just take children. He remakes them so completely that freedom can be worse than slavery. And even heroes who sacrifice everything may learn that some battles cannot be won-only survived.
