Let me reveal Christmas's best-kept secret: Santa Claus perished centuries ago. In antiquity, as the old gods faded, Santa wed a goddess. She was once Bast in Egypt, Artemis in Greece, Diana in Rome—called a witch, a hero, an assassin. You know her as Mrs. Claus.

"In the Service of Mrs. Claus" is a 188,000-word interactive fantasy thriller by Brian Rushton, where your decisions shape the narrative. This experience is entirely text-based, powered solely by the limitless engine of your imagination.

After Santa's death, Mrs. Claus infused the essence of Christmas into Santa's Heart, entombing it with him in a maximum-security vault beneath Claus Castle. Now, the Heart has been stolen. As Mrs. Claus' premier secret agent—her most elite elf—you must go undercover to reclaim the Heart and wrest Christmas back from the encroaching shadows.

Unravel the Fae's sinister secrets as you conjure giant marshmallows and lethal candy canes, kindle romances with sweet allies and charming rogues, and battle the enigmatic Krinkle Corporation to prevent Christmas's destruction. In the final conflict, you must choose: wield your winter elf magic to vanquish the dark armies, or betray your mistress and join them.

• Assume the role of a shapeshifting elf, fluidly changing gender, species, and form at will.

• Confront cults, deities, and monolithic corporations conspiring to topple Mrs. Claus's reign.

• Wield magic to execute covert missions as Mrs. Claus's clandestine operative.

• Visit children on Earth to judge them naughty or nice... and decide their gifts.

• Determine the ultimate fate of Christmas and the entire Fae realm.

• Uncover the truth behind Santa's demise.

• Forge alliances with your foes or condemn them to the naughty list.

• Restore Mrs. Claus to her throne, betray her, or win her hand in marriage.

Christmas is coming. You'd better watch out.
