  Some legends are better left forgotten. 
   
   
   
  The world believes Kris Kringle—ex-mercenary turned Guardian of Christmas—is on a killing spree. A man of violence with a white beard and red coat, wielding Workshop technology to protect children's joy, now stands accused of slaughtering innocents. 
   
   
   
  A twisted mirror image armed with bleeding-edge tech and ancient claws claims the title of Krampus Christmas's forgotten enforcer is stalking the shadows wearing his colors. 
   
   
   
  When this doppelganger targets the woman Kris loves and threatens to destroy both Christmas and Chinese New Year through global financial collapse, the real Saint Nick must hunt down the imposter. With his enhanced armor failing and enemies surrounding him, Kris faces an impossible choice: protect the Workshop's secrets or save the woman who grounds his humanity. 
   
   
   
  As the body count rises, one terrifying question remains: how can you stop an enemy who knows your every move? Will Kris unmask Krampus before his reputation is destroyed forever? Or will this dark reflection prove that some Christmas spirits can't be conquered, even by Workshop magic? 
   
   
   
  The naughty list just got more crowded. 
   
   
   
  And it's written in blood.

  “The deep relevance and the nuanced portrayal of the myriad effects of abuse on [the characters] lives are skillfully done. Layered and disquieting.” —Kirkus Reviews 
   
  Award-winning author Lola Lafon continues her exploration of the psyches of young girls–their fragility, their resilience. 
   
  Fontenay, a Parisian suburb, 1984. Cléo is twelve when her parents prod her into taking ballet classes. She drops out after a long year of feeling lost, not classy nor graceful enough, and undoubtedly not as rich as the other kids. 
   
  By chance, she signs up for Modern Jazz class at a MJC–a state funded organization whose mission is to provide access to art and culture to all children. 
   
  Modern Jazz is her calling, and soon Cléo is transformed, working out constantly, dreaming of becoming a professional dancer. That’s when she catches the attention of Cathy, an elegant middle-aged woman, who is a talent scout for Galatée–a foundation that gives fellowships to exceptionally gifted teenagers. 
   
  Fascinated by Cathy and the many gifts with which this providential “godmother” is showering her, Cléo introduces her to her parents, receiving their blessing to spend more time with her, ultimately falling prey to Galatée’s trap. 
   
  “The great strength of Reeling is the way Lafon weaves together social failures that, on the surface, seem quite disparate.” —Los Angeles Review of Books 
   
  “An immersive, captivating story.” —Buzz magazine, UK 
   
  “An impassioned novel on the consequences of sexual exploitation and the dead ends of forgiveness.” —Pages of Hackney, London 
   
  “Lola Lafon writes for all those who have stayed in the shadows, all those whose voices cannot be heard, shaking off the contemporary mythology of powerful women.” —France-Amerique
