A Dark Holiday Romantasy for the Season Has Arrived
The wait is over! My new novel, Snow & Soot, is officially out!
If you love enemies-to-lovers, forbidden romance, and gothic fairytales wrapped in snow and shadow, and holiday romantasy, this story was written for you.
About the Book
In a world ruled by the laws of Naughty and Nice, Elowen has always followed the rules, until one act of defiance shatters Kringle’s perfect order.
Banished into a realm of endless winter, she meets Krampus, the monster from every child’s bedtime story, bound in chains and legend.
As songs turn deadly and joy becomes law, Elowen must decide whether mercy is rebellion and love her greatest sin.
It’s a tale of redemption, forbidden warmth, and courage against the cold; a story for readers who crave emotion as deep as winter itself.
Why You’ll Love It
Read Snow & Soot if you love:
- Monsters with hearts made for ruin and redemption
- Gothic holiday worlds where beauty hides the macabre
- Enemies-to-lovers with slow-burn tension
- Myth retellings with cozy-dark atmosphere
- A touch of magic, mystery, and midwinter romance
The Inspiration Behind the Story
I’ve always loved the contrast between holiday light and gothic shadow and the warmth of candles in a world of frost.
Snow & Soot began as a question: What if someone broke Santa’s rules for the right reason?
From there grew Elowen, a quiet rebel with ink-stained hands, and Krampus, the misunderstood monster who keeps the balance between joy and sorrow.
The result is a dark holiday romantasy that explores love, mercy, and the gray space between Naughty and Nice.
Where to Get It
Snow & Soot is now available in paperback and ebook:
👉 Buy on Amazon
👉 Available through Ingram for libraries and bookstores
Thank you to every reader who believes in dark fairytales, imperfect heroes, and love that endures even through the longest winter.
I hope Snow & Soot keeps you company by the fire, surrounded by twinkling lights and a little bit of magic.
Stay warm,
Christina
