Klaus

I highly recommend Klaus for the whole family, July 10, 2011 By Readers Favorite "Book Reviews and Award Contest" (Hawesville, KY USA) -

Have you ever wondered how Santa Klaus met Mrs. Klaus? Michelle Erickson brings readers a delightful story of a princess and a carpenter.

Eralee's father is a River King and her mother is a Queen. They live in the forest of Everaude, a world filled with immortals and the Rashim (deer). Her parents planned a marriage for her to a river prince. She had no desire to marry him. When she saw a human freezing to death in the woods, she wanted to save him, although it was forbidden by her people.

The reader watches as Klaus and Eralee fall in love. Throughout this enchanted story the reader learns the answers to many Santa questions. The reader also meets several incredible secondary characters such as Dasher, Dancer and Vixen. Erickson explains why reindeer can fly and why their antlers glow. Eralee refused to give up the man she loves, no matter the cost.

Erickson combines romance, adventure, suspense, and humor to create one of the best Christmas tales I've ever read. Eralee's antics were very funny and her innocence was extremely heartwarming. This book will become a family favorite. I can see this tale making it to TV as a Christmas special. I highly recommend Klaus for the whole family...

Eralee is a misfit among immortals.
She is supposed to marry a philandering river Prince.
She doesn’t want him. She wants to save the human called Klaus.

Klaus lives alone at the edge of the Everaude Forest, a dangerous forbidden place.
He’s convinced he will never know love until he meets Eralee.
Unfortunately, she’s immortal - there's no reason for her to return that love

There is another immortal who wants him.
She is Kamichen, the Winter Witch, known in legend for eating men’s hearts.
She has plans for Klaus and they don’t include Eralee.
