Deep in the frozen peaks of the Winterspine Mountains, an ancient power stirs. The Winter King, The FATMAN or affectionately - known to mortals as Santa Claus - bleeds divinity into the snow as his brother Krampus seeks revenge for centuries of necessary evil. For behind every Christmas gift lies a darker purpose: the harvesting of children's wonder to bind winter's consciousness itself.
Jinx Tinsel, a clockwork elf with mechanical augmentations that sync with winter's deepest machinery, uncovers a terrible truth. The holiday traditions that spread joy across the world mask a systematic collection of pure belief - each present delivered marking another child whose wonder burns bright enough to harvest.
But something older than winter's consciousness waits in the depths where cold first stirred to awareness. When Krampus unleashes his daughter's perfect wonder - the first belief ever harvested - reality itself begins to unravel. For in that pure trust lies power that could unmake everything... or transform it into something entirely new.
The fate of winter itself hangs in the balance as ancient powers converge. In this dark fantasy masterpiece that reinvents Christmas mythology, discover what really happens when wonder learns to bite back.
Not all gifts are meant to be opened. Not all beliefs are meant to survive. And in the eternal cold, even Santa Claus has teeth.
