Description
Joshua, an Ellandili* forced to flee the empire Noel with his uncle as a boy, has returned and stands now at the precipice of his childhood dream. He’s battled fear, doubt, rage and the tortured memories fuelling them, to ensure he’s pitch perfect when meeting his Holiness; Christopher Nicholas Cringle, the Claus, war hero, spiritual leader and undisputed ruler of the empire. Perhaps their encounter will wash away some of the blood and terror staining the ties that bind them, perhaps not, but the plans have been laid and the deals have been made, so it’s now or never! Christmas Eve, the one night he’s away from his fortress ‘The Workshop’. The one and only night Joshua has, not to save the world… but for revenge, and the death of the Holy Father Christmas!

This is the first graphic novel I’ve read in my adult age and it made me discover this amazing world. The story is bold, with it’s unique twist on such a traditional character it offers a revisitation on a classic theme that it is intriguing and fascinating. It is not just a read, it is an immersive experience, delivered through wittingly great writing and beautiful art.

I thought it was an incredible read and that’s from someone who doesn’t read! Highly recommend if you want a dark and twisted portrayal of Christmas.

My first foray into the pyrose collection. A really impressive graphic novel with an original storyline and some brilliant artwork. Highly recommended
Harrison –
A terrific, gory, Christmas themed revenge story. Terrific fight scenes, beautifully illustrated and characters that are both loveable and capable.
This is just my cup of tea!

What a breath of fresh air! I was getting so tired of the traditional Christmas stories. Just like with everything in “pop culture” nowadays, everything just seems to be a like-for-like reboot or an awful sequel. But Winter Solstice has opened my eyes up to what an original and unique twist to a classic really is! Let alone the insane visuals to go perfectly along with great story telling and such great characters. Can’t wait for the next one! Hope Good Ol’ Saint Nic gets whats coming to him!

Ahhh this was great so many elements to this novel!!! I mean if you took the supernatural out of it what a compelling thriller this would make but what an amazing twist to the character of Santa and his elves. The author really captured the sinister nature of “what could be” if Santa’s ruled his elves with an iron fist! Pick it up it’s a great one-shot hope this story gets expanded or more novels come out of this series! Love it!
