About this story
Sixteen chapters of snowball wagers, a candy workshop, a Christmas market and a ski slope, before a lopsided fruitcake he swears he has tasted before drags up a life the two already shared — and Death arrives to reclaim what it loaned out.
Who you’ll meet
The fox-spirit of the present hour, grinning over the snowball wager he is about to win, with the hourglass that can stretch a day.
