Instead, he got dragged into a virtual game that came with glasses that weren't glasses and rules that weren't rules.Oops.Turns out there's a world inside the glasses. A place of clockwork toys, abandoned workshops, and secrets nobody ever meant to unwrap. Van and Charli (yes, the crush, yes, awkward) stumble out of the game with more than they bargained for. And something… stumbles out after them.Now reality's misfiring like cheap Christmas lights. Something really wants back what they accidentally took from the game.From droids in Santa suits to gingerbread rebels with attitude, Van and Charli are stuck in a war between belief and machinery, myth and madness. To make it home alive, they'll have to trust each other, cling to what's real, and take on the one enemy stronger than magic doubt.Christmas The Prequel launches the Claus Universe with sci-fi sparkle, fantasy mayhem, and enough heart to melt the North Pole.
