For centuries, Santa has carried the impossible burden of Christmas on his shoulders. But when exhaustion turns into resentment, an unexpected opportunity gives him a chance to escape the role he's come to hate.
Krampus sees his own opportunity.
Tired of being feared, hated, and condemned to the shadows, he makes a dangerous bargain-one that will change Christmas forever. When Santa and Krampus exchange supernatural powers, neither realizes what they've unleashed.
Santa begins absorbing the darkness of Krampus, and with every passing hour, he becomes more powerful-and more dangerous.
Soon, Christmas itself is threatened.
The Super E.L.F.S. are the only ones who can stop him, but saving Santa may mean trusting the one creature they've always been taught to fear.
Krampus.
As evil spreads across the world, Krampus's strength begins to disappear. Haunted by the knowledge that his selfish choice started the catastrophe, he must join forces with the Super E.L.F.S. to save the man he betrayed-and restore the balance between light and darkness.
But Santa isn't giving up his newfound power without a fight.
This Christmas, Santa is the villain.
Krampus is the unlikely hero.
And saving Christmas may require them both to discover what they've forgotten:
Goodness isn't the absence of darkness. It's the choice to rise above it.
A darkly festive, supernatural Christmas adventure filled with magic, betrayal, unlikely alliances, humor, and a twist on two of Christmas's most legendary figures.
