The Goblin of Advent - Paperback

by Walter Firth (Author)

In the frozen heart of winter, when candles falter and bells toll against the dark, an ancient law still waits to be tested.

They whisper of a crooked goblin who comes each Advent, stealing not only gifts but hope itself. The Advent Thief. If the stolen offering is not reclaimed by sunrise, joy is lost forever-and Christmas turns to ash.

When Morana, a girl on the village's edge, wakes to a dead flame and a vanished gift, she is drawn into a night of terror. To save not just her Christmas but the very soul of her hearth, she must pursue the Thief into a world where wolves speak with human voices, chains drag like funeral bells, and shadows feed on envy, doubt, and disbelief.

Armed only with her grandmother's riddling wisdom and the half-remembered tales of the old ones, Morana follows the goblin's trail. What she discovers is more than a creature in the dark-it is the truth that monsters dwell as much in the human heart as in the woods beyond the firelight.

The Goblin of Advent is a haunting gothic folktale of myth and midwinter dread-a story of courage, inheritance, and the fragile flame of hope that even the longest night cannot smother.
