Winterdream

Winter Dream is a phenomenal retelling of The Nutcracker from the eyes of Clara Stahlbaum. For fans of S. Jae-Jones’ WINTERSONGg and Heather Dixon’s THE ENCHANTED SONATA.

This Christmas Eve, no creature was stirring except maybe a mouse. At long last, can true love break the Nutcracker’s curse?

For Clara Stahlbaum, this Christmas means the end of her youth. A daughter of the aristocracy, Clara is expected to give up her dreams of adventures and the extraordinary for a mundane life as the wife of a cruel Viscount.

But when her magical Uncle Drosselmeyer returns with his wondrous, dancing contraptions and a special gift for Clara, she is beckoned to the land of Winter Dream, where she is thrust into the greatest adventure of her wildest dreams. But will she be able to break the Nutcracker's curse?

Uncle Drosselmeyer’s apprentice, Anton, is handsome as he is mysterious. But what is it about him Clara finds so alluring?
