As she stared at Santa, a sinking sensation somewhere in her gut, he shook his head. “I tried to tell you,” he said. “Jack Frost has this room charmed so that no magic other than his works here. Otherwise, I could have gotten myself out.”

She didn’t let him finish. Maybe she was barking up the wrong tree here, but she figured she might as well try. Laying her hands on the door, she recited the simple spell she used on those occasions when she managed to lock herself out of the house.

“You always were clever,” Santa Claus said, his blue eyes bright with approval. He moved toward the door…

…and an ice-cold hand clamped itself on Stella’s shoulder, spinning her around even as the door slammed shut behind her.

She stared up into a pair of glacial gray eyes. Surrounding them were features as craggy and sharp as Norway’s fjords.
