Bring a Jolt Of Excitement to Your Christmas With a Tale of Magic, Adventure, Love...And Flying Reindeer

This Christmas, encounter the legend of Saint Nicholas for the first time, all over again.



    LOS ANGELES, CA, October 29, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Saint Nicholas, Santa Claus, Kris Kringle: he's known by many names all over the world. He is one of the most celebrated figures in the world. But what is the legend behind all the myths?

The Legends of Saint Nicholas: The Emergent Son is the story of a young Nicholas, determined to free his city from the grips of a crazed General. He launches a campaign to bring food and gifts to the starving and wanting to win the heart of the city and overthrow the General in a peaceful manner. But the enemy will not go quietly, and Nicholas must use all that he learned from his father and his Elven family to unseat the mad Ruler.

"A few years ago, I stumbled across a book that looked at the what we know for certain about Nicholas, and also at all the amazing myths and legends about him," says author Christopher F. Dalton. "I found that, all over the world, he is celebrated as someone that could raise the dead, stop hurricanes, end famines, fight demons and more. I put the book down and started to dream: what kind of story could this really be?"

"I highly recommending this superb book," says Leo Partible, a writer, producer, director, artist, and musician. "It's an epic telling of the Santa Claus legend with a unique fantasy take in the tradition of Lord of the Rings. Spread the word, tell your friends and get a copy. It's great reading in any season!"

Driven by the promises and nightmares of his childhood, Nicholas returns to the ancient port city he called home to overcome his past and enter his future. But in his thirteen year absence, the city has become unrecognizable: gone are the colors, the joy, and the Elf-magic of the old port haven. In it's place are an oppressed people, enslaved by a crazed General, including the love of his life, Esma.

Determined to free Esma and the city, Nicholas launches a campaign to bring food and gifts to the starving and wanting. His goal: win the heart of the city and overthrow the General in a peaceful manner. But the enemy will not go quietly, and Nicholas must use all that he learned from his father and his Elven family to unseat the mad Ruler. The question is, how much will he have to sacrifice to bring freedom to those he loves?

"I enjoy reading the works of great story tellers like John Grisham; those were the author draws you into the story. The Legends of Saint Nicholas is now on my list of favorites," says Brian Dalton. "I found myself traveling the dirt streets of a long ago village; no electricity, no tv and no internet. A land filled with elves, a tyrant ruler and magic. The story of a young Nicholas reluctant to take on his destiny is a must read. You will have a hard time setting it down once you embark on his journey."

"I literally found myself whispering "brilliant" while staying up into the wee hours of morning to try and finish reading it. All of the elements of what you think you know about Saint Nicholas are in this story, along with romance, battles, family secrets and bonds, and my most favorite character, Rudolph. I would liken this story to something akin to The Lord of The Rings series. It is epic," says April Hooper.
