  Christmas Eve—the night of joy, wonder, and magic. But what if the heart of Christmas itself was stolen? In this enchanting yet unexpected tale, L. Frank Baum dares to ask: what happens when Santa Claus disappears? Hidden away in his ice-bound Laughing Valley, Santa has made it his life's work to bring happiness to children across the world. But not everyone welcomes his kindness. Dark forces lurk beyond the cheerful glow of Christmas, and when Santa is taken captive, the very spirit of the holiday hangs in the balance.
  With a touch of mischief, a sprinkle of suspense, and a heartwarming conclusion, Baum crafts a story that challenges the idea of good and evil, reminding us that even the purest intentions can face opposition. It's a tale of courage, cleverness, and the unstoppable force of joy—a Christmas adventure unlike any other.
  A hidden gem from the author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, A Kidnapped Santa Claus blends festive charm with unexpected depth. It is a holiday tale not just about presents and merriment, but about the true meaning of giving, the resilience of kindness, and the magic that no chains can contain.

  Twin brothers–a sorcerer and a warrior–are each tortured for their opposing convictions. Will magick be restored or extinguished? 
  Magick once ruled The Three Kingdoms, now banished and condemnable. 
  Twin brothers, Jaromir and Talmage have been imprisoned and tortured, but for different convictions. Jaromir wakes up chained to a table filled with dread, while Talmage is thrown into an underground labyrinth.  
  Jaromir has devoted his life to mastering weapons as the Empress’ Guard and forming a secret order to rid the world of magick. His lifetime devotion is useless when his limbs are chained. Unless he divulges the order’s plans. Jaromir is tortured and his body pushed to breaking point but he refuses to betray the order––until his wife is dragged into the room. Jaromir is forced to make a choice between his honor and his beloved wife.  
  Which will he choose?   
  Meanwhile, Talmage is thrown into an underground labyrinth. Since his parent’s death, he had practiced the art of magick in secret from his brother’s order. Magick had been his savor and his security through his troubled life. No matter what Talmage tried, the ghosts of his past haunt him––especially in the dark passages. At first, he thought he was alone, for one last trial, until familiar voices echo from the shadows. 
  Both brothers must escape from their wicked fate, identify their outgrown relationship, and swallow their pride before it’s too late. 
  If one of them fails; they both suffer.
