In Notely, Minnesota, Christmas comes with cookies, carols… and the occasional supernatural complication. For Laura Cassidy, this year’s trouble starts when gold begins disappearing all over town—ornaments, treats, trinkets, and even her beloved pug, Span. Days before the annual holiday celebration, the town’s decorations are gone, businesses are in uproar, and strange reports of memory lapses point to something not entirely human at work.

With her small but determined detective team, Laura follows a twisting trail through Notely’s supernatural undercurrent—where dragons collect shiny treasures, pixies meddle with impish glee, and the politics of the fae court can turn deadly. Along the way, she discovers a hidden sanctuary, unexpected allies, and a plot that could ruin more than just the holiday.

Part cozy mystery, part magical adventure, A Christmas Tail blends small-town charm with supernatural intrigue. If you like heartwarming holiday stories with a dash of danger, a sprinkle of humor, and a fiercely loyal heroine who will stop at nothing to protect her own, you’ll feel right at home in Notely.
