Fire Eater Island: The Krampus Chronicles

by Sonia Halbach

Laszlo has vanished – taking Krampus with him. But whispers of violent rebellions hint that neither are too far away. And now in possession of two of the three Sister Wheels, Laszlo’s plan is nearing completion. He just needs one additional thing – war.

Meanwhile, the grandchildren of Clement Clarke Moore have gone their separate ways, leaving Maggie to unearth the family secrets all on her own. Well, not completely alone. Augustus McNutt and her sister, Catharine, also understand the vital role the Van Cortlandt descendants play in the coming conflict. And as they hurry to disrupt Laszlo's quest for blood, Maggie must decide whether or not to seek out an old friend – Henry Livingston.

But with conspiracies and political conventions descending upon the city, Maggie needs all the help she can get. From Barnum's Museum and Tammany Hall to a mysterious island hidden on the outskirts of West Point, Maggie has lots of ground to cover in order to keep the world as she knows it from burning down around her.

About the author

Sonia Halbach was born in Minnesota, raised in North Dakota, and attended college in South Dakota. So naturally, a week after graduating from Augustana College, she hightailed it east to try New York City on for size. And it turned out to be pretty big. But with a passion for history, Halbach soon became infatuated with New York City’s rich collection of stories.

When Halbach’s not trying new flavors of bubble tea, civilizing her cats, or conjuring up schemes to get locked inside The Morgan Library & Museum for a night, she can be found researching forgotten stories on the island of many hills, which inspired her to write The Krampus Chronicles.

I enjoyed this book as much as the first two. Love the bits of history thrown in throughout the story.
