Father Christmas the Rogue
They deleted the magic. He's bringing it back.
In the quiet villages of Stockbury and Hartlip, the stars have started to flicker, and the local pub-the Rose & Crown-is humming with a frequency that shouldn't exist. Terry and Anita thought they knew their home, but the "Brand" has arrived, a corporate force intent on editing reality into a sanitized, predictable brochure.
When a weathered figure in a faded red suit-the Rogue-emerges from a digital abyss, the line between folklore and code shatters. This isn't the Father Christmas of carols and cards; he is a glitch in the system, a survivor of a deleted prototype world guarded by the Eraser.
Now, Terry and Anita must help the Rogue protect the "Anchor" before the corporate grey men format the sector for good. It's a race to save the beauty of the breakable-where magic isn't a product, it's a nuisance. And in the soil of the paddock, a new kind of power is taking root.
A genre-bending blend of British urban fantasy and cyberpunk noir, Father Christmas the Rogue is a story for anyone who believes that real life is worth fighting for-even when it gets messy.
