Description:
You can't keep a bad elf down.
Upon completing her first Big Night assignment-delivering coal to all the kids on the naughty list-Ember Skye thought all was well at the North Pole. She no longer has to slave away in the coal mines, and her arch-nemesis has seemingly been stripped of his power.
Sturd, however, has only been biding his time. After he discovers an ancient text, the demonic elf sets out on a mission that could change life at the Pole as they know it. His rise in power could threaten the very existence of the Big Night, the North Pole, and even Claus himself.
Return to the North Pole where Ember and all the coal elves will soon realize never to underestimate the corruptible temptation of unrivaled power. Unfortunately for them, it may be too late... chaos may reign supreme.
Brief description: Maria DeVivo writes horror and dark fantasy for both a YA and adult audience. Each of her series has been Amazon best-sellers and have won multiple awards since 2012. When not writing, she teaches Language Arts and Journalism to middle school students in Florida. A lover of all things dark and demented, the worlds she creates are fantastical and immersive. Get swept away in the lands of elves, zombies, angels, demons, and witches (but not all in the same place). Maria takes great pleasure in warping the comfort factor in her readers' minds - just when you think you've reached a safe space in her stories, she snaps you back into her twisted reality.
