A Medieval Christmas Carol: A classic tale reborn in chainmail and candlelight.

By Ruth Comley

A Medieval Christmas Carol

A Gothic Fantasy of Redemption and a Kingdom's Hope.

In a kingdom gripped by ice and iron, a miserly king is about to meet the ghosts of his past, present, and future.

The classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, like you've never seen it before. Journey to a frost-laden medieval world where "Bah Humbug " echoes through castle halls and redemption is forged not in London's cobblestone streets, but in the heart of a tyrant king. Can he save his own soul? If he doesn't, then he and the entire kingdom will be condemned.

King Ebenezer Scrooge rules with a miser's fist, hoarding his harvests while his subjects starve. To him, Christmas is a fool's notion, charity is a weakness, and the pleas of his own nephew are an annoyance. But on a cold Christmas Eve, the chains of greed rattle in the dark. The tormented spirit of his father, the late King Marley, appears to deliver a grave warning: Scrooge will be visited by three spirits, his last chance to escape a damning fate.

The Ghost of Yuletide Past will pull him back through time to the choices that hardened his heart, including the love he lost for the throne he gained.

The Ghost of Yuletide Present will reveal the joy and fellowship he scorns, and the suffering his tyranny causes-especially for his loyal Lord Cratchit and Cratchit's frail young squire, Tim.

The Ghost of Yuletide Future will unveil a terrifying vision of a neglected grave and a legacy of scorn, showing the lonely end that awaits a king who is feared but never loved.

Faced with the consequences of his life, Scrooge is forced to confront a terrifying question: Is it too late to change? Can one night shatter the ice around a king's heart and save not only a child's life but his own soul? And what of his people? The future has shown him that without his good intervention, they will surely be doomed.
