Long before he became a legend, Nicholas Santa was an Arctic explorer struggling to survive at the edge of the known world. When a violent polar storm separates him from his family, he uncovers a hidden civilization beneath the ice: elves, ancient machines, and a secret history older than humanity itself. As political tensions rise between isolationist elders and a dangerous rebel named Jack, Nicholas is drawn into a conflict that threatens to ignite war between worlds.
Claus: Legend of the Fat Man is an epic fantasy novel that reimagines the origin of Santa Claus as myth rather than folklore, blending Arctic exploration, ancient technology, and legendary worldbuilding. Darker and more ambitious than traditional holiday tales, this novel is written for adult readers who enjoy immersive fantasy, historical grounding, and series-driven storytelling. Book One of the Claus Universe.
