Description
Not every path leads to the truth. But every one brings you closer to him.
Eight missing children. One urban legend. A town that stopped asking questions.
They call him the King of Christmas—a red-cloaked figure said to haunt Pine Hollow, taking children who’ve done wrong. Always on Christmas Eve. Always leaving behind a trail of footprints in the snow… and a single silver bell for every home that's lost a child.
Jenny Matthews, now a Boston journalist, returns to the snowbound town she fled decades ago to investigate the disappearances.
Officially, she’s here to write about the legend.
Unofficially, she’s chasing something much closer to home.
The police won’t help. The town won’t talk. And this year a new family will receive a silver bell.
In this unique psychological thriller book, you decide what Jenny does next.
Will she uncover the truth—or become the next to vanish?
Will she expose the legend—or step straight into it?
Will she find redemption—or lose everything trying?
KING OF CHRISTMAS is a uniquely immersive Choose Your Own Path psychological thriller where your decisions shape the story. Every choice matters. Some truths are buried deep. Some paths lead to justice. Others to regret.
Choose carefully. The King of Christmas is watching.
