Christmas is the only time of year that Celeste likes more than Halloween. When the other witches fly south for the winter, she stays behind to zap her house into candy and drape spiderweb tinsel. But the forest can be lonely with the others away, and she misses being helpful. Luckily, her cat has a brilliant solution that calls for a trip to the North Pole!

Musician Cyrus Burns may be her soulmate, or a thief sent to destroy her with a kiss. And Cyrus’s enemy Edric is a family friend who in reality is the Elven King of Tir Na Nog, Tessa’s former lover from a past life who wants to keep her safe, even at the expense of her freedom.Trusting either of them is impossible because they both keep dangerous secrets. If Tessa doesn’t save her family, they’ll be lost forever, and she’ll be pulled, hooves kicking, into the underworld for all eternity. She’s about to learn as an immortal unicorn queen, past lives can catch up to you and there are some fates worse than death.

Laura Proietti was born in Palermo, Italy. She was a lively, crafty, chubby girl whose hair was always messy. When she first picked up a pencil, she understood that this was what she was meant to do. It became her magic wand, and she painted throughout her childhood. Eventually, she enrolled at the School of Comics in Palermo and studied illustration and animation. Her work has been published by DeAgostini, Harper Collins, Giunti Editore, Learning Without Tears and many other foreign and Italian publishing houses. Laura continues to see her pencil as her wand, but the true magic comes from the deep love she feels for her work.

But before she could fulfill her destiny, there were dragons to slay…
