About this audiobook
From Parks and Recreation star Aubrey Plaza and creative partner Dan Murphy comes the long lost tale of the Christmas Witch, Santa Claus's much misunderstood twin sister. The perfect gift for the holiday season and beyond!
Gather ‘round the fire to hear a Christmas legend that has never been told before...until now. Each year a mysterious figure sweeps into town, leaving behind strange gifts in the night. No, not Santa Claus, but his sister…
The Christmas Witch.
Her story begins many, many years ago when her brother was torn away from her as a child. Raised alone by a witch of the woods, Kristtörn's powers of magic grew, as did her temper. Determined to find her long lost twin, she set out on a perilous journey across oceans to find him. But what she found instead was a deep-seated fear of her powers and a confrontation that would leave the fate of Christmas hanging in the balance.
From award-winning producer and actress Aubrey Plaza and her creative partner Dan Murphy comes a holiday story unlike any told before. With all the richness of classic folklore, they’ve woven a tale of bravery, love and magic. Whatever you thought you knew about Christmas…think again.

*Spoilers* This is like The Brothers Grim where sometimes, the protagonist doesn't get a happily ever after.: -Aubrey Plaza did a amazing job reading the tale, however.... My issues with the book: -The protagonist was rejected by all the normal humans and her brother never used his influence to ask others to accept her. Christhorn doesn't need her brother but it wouldve been nice for him to at least try to help her and stand by her side instead of leaving her. -Makes no sense for the humans to freak out over Christhorns powers but not her brother's powers. -Why didnt her brother tell the adopted parents about bringing them both in for adoption at any point in his life? -There better be a sequel because that ending was disappointing. The book leaves the human population and Santa to be the antagonists and leaving Christhorn to lose in the end for doing nothing wrong
