A Christmas Carroll: A Strangely Beautiful Novella

By Leanna Renee Hieber

London, 1888. An ancient Prophecy has just been fulfilled, leaving Rebecca Thompson, Headmistress of the mysterious Athens Academy utterly heartbroken. Having long served as second in command of The Guard, keeping balance between the mortal and spirit world, she has lived a lonely life in love with the leader of the Guard. But now that he is married to another woman, Rebecca fears her bleak, isolated future. The Heart of The Guard, Vicar Michael Carroll has valiantly mitigated the emotional toils ghostly work takes on his fellows, working magic with his unique brand of empathy and contagious joy. But secretly he has always harbored a passionate love for the Headmistress, who has never noticed him as anything other than a friend. As he gathers his courage to tell her the truth, he finds the whole of the spirit world is there to help him. Three ghosts set the Headmistress and the Vicar on a dizzying course of change. Wrenching journeys through the past, present and future collide with unexpected dangers from the spirit world. True love, teamwork, scheming ghosts and guardian angels conspire to save the hearts, minds and souls of two deserving mortals at the mercy of immortal powers...just in time for the holidays.
