The frost is spreading. The darkness is deepening. And something has crash-landed on Whidbey Island.

When Dylan Wylde and his friends accidentally unleash a horde of strange and terrifying creatures in the days before Christmas, they know they have to put things right. The lights keep flickering as the nights grow longer than they should. And a stranded elf with a wrecked sleigh brings a warning that changes everything.

A powerful frost weaver — an ancient creature of ice and borrowed beauty — has arrived on the island. And she has no intention of leaving. With the legendary Krampus’s stolen magic at her fingertips and Christmas itself hanging in the balance, Dylan and his friends must face their most dangerous enemy yet.

The Frost Weaver didn’t come looking for Whidbey Island. But now that she’s here, she plans to make it hers — forever.

Perfect for fans of Goosebumps and spooky mysteries with a dash of Christmas magic — The Whidbey Island Frost Weaver delivers chills, wonder, and a Christmas countdown you won’t forget!
