It’s time to deck the halls and return to Solaria for more Christmas chaos than you can shake a buttery bagel at. From the bestselling BookTok sensation romantasy series by the Twisted Sisters, comes a brand-new, fully illustrated hardback advent calendar book experience for Zodiac Academy and Dark Fae fans.

Read a never-before-seen, full-length story inside this fun, festive special edition and open a chapter a day on the run up to Christmas. Inside, readers will discover a brand new tale featuring all their favourite characters! The chapters will be stuffed with gorgeous character and scene art, plus Faebook and Booktok posts that will be #dirtyanddiabolical. Get ready to enjoy the holidays like never before, immersed in the land of Solaria where you can spend Christmas at the Palace of Souls...

T’was the cursed day of Christmas and all through the palace, spirits were lingering with thoughts full of malice.

Did you think Solaria was out of peril at last? Well, the stars aren’t done with their games yet. And you know how they love to ruin the holidays.

On the Cursed Day of Christmas my true love gave to me…

A box of hexed ornaments to decorate my tree.

Yeah… not what I’d been hoping to find on Christmas Eve, but it’s no problem. So long as the enchanted decorations aren’t broken, the malignant entities trapped inside them by a Vega monarch hundreds of years ago can't escape, and the whole of Solaria isn’t threatened by their wrath.

It’s going to be a very merry Christmas indeed.

This festive return to Solaria includes:

* 24 chapters, sealed behind perforated pages. Open one a day to discover a brand-new Zodiac Academy adventure as you count down to Christmas.
* Following on from the events of Restless Stars, fans will love revisiting their favourite characters.
* A beautifully packaged hardback, featuring fully illustrated endpapers, character art, stunning scene art and spot illustrations throughout.
* The perfect gift for fans of Solaria, and a wonderful alternative to traditional advent calendars.
