S. C. Kincaid is the author of The Twelve-Tide Sagas, the first trilogy in The Aelf-King Sagas, ten years in the making, that tells the origin of Santa Claus through the witch trials of the 1600s. He writes winter folklore-inspired fantasy rooted in European fairy tales, published under his own imprint, Amberroot Press. All sagas begin in fire.
[S.C. Kincaid] has crafted a wonderful story and magical world. It is woven in familiar geography. It takes place where we can identify with it and at a time in history near enough to be understood, but still magical enough to hold our attention. I highly recommend it and can't wait to read the next installment.
