Jessie Morton has another apprenticeship at Renaissance Faire Village with the new toymaker. Chris Christmas has the look of Santa with a merry wife and a slew of children who act as his elves.
Jessie is always grateful to spend more time with her boyfriend, Chase, the village bailiff. When Chris is found dead after one day in the Village, Jessie and Chase will be drawn into another investigation. They will learn secrets about the Christmas family and the King and Queen that will rattle their small community.
