Chaos & Christmas: Nico's Christmas Carol: A Mythverse/Down & Dirty Novella, #3.5

By Kate Karyus Quinn, Marley Lynn and Demitria Lunetta

Bah Humbug! I'm Nico Tralano and I'm gonna bite the next person to wish me Merry Christmas.

 

It's the end of the world and life is good for this one-eyed werewolf. I've been making bank as a paid assassin.

 

But now I've been offered a job to kidnap one of my old Mount Olympus Academy classmates. On Christmas Day too. She was always nice to me, but the money is too good to turn down.

 

Except before I can do the job, I start seeing ghosts. They show me things from the past, present, and future. They reveal that my lack of holiday spirit might not ruin only this Christmas, but the entire world.

 

Can I change my heart or will it be too late?

 

Chaos & Christmas is a 16,000 word novella that's a reimagined urban fantasy version of The Christmas Carol story we all know and love.
