Spectacular

The festivities are in full swing in the Capital City of the Meridian Empire. Snowflakes cascade gracefully from the sky, heralding the arrival of beautifully adorned invitations for the Great Holiday Eve Eve, a celebration like no other. Scarlett Dragna is at the helm, meticulously planning a spectacular holiday extravaganza for the city. This time of year is infused with an enchanting magic, making everything seem possible, even the grandest of dreams and the most heartfelt desires.

Scarlett's sister, Donatella Dragna, is on a quest of her own - finding the perfect gift that could change everything. As she traverses the colourful marketplaces and whimsical alleyways, she's filled with a determination to find a present that will melt even the coldest of hearts. Julian, ever the dashing figure, cuts a striking image dressed in emerald green, embodying the spirit of the holiday.

However, Legend, the enigmatic master of Caraval, harbours a deep disdain for the Great Holiday. Unbeknownst to him, Tella's unwavering belief in holiday magic might just be the key to transforming his views. She hopes that the right gift, brimming with love and thoughtfulness, could turn the tide. With the clock ticking down to the festive celebration, the air is thick with anticipation and a sprinkle of holiday enchantment.

Welcome back to the vibrant and mysterious world of Caraval, where nothing is ever as it seems, and even the holidays hold their unique forms of surprise and wonder. Set after Stephanie Garber's #1 New York Times bestselling Caraval series, this delightful novella promises to whisk readers away on the ultimate holiday adventure. Prepare for encounters with charming clockwork boys, tantalizing but treacherous candy, mischievous snow globes, and a journey imbued with merriment and romance, should Tella succeed in her quest. Spectacular is a spellbinding tale, filled to the brim with wonder and warmth.

Complete with stunning illustrations by Rosie Fowinkle, this is the perfect edition for collectors, avid readers, dreamers, and lovers of holiday magic.
