Forget naughty or nice—this is a battle of good vs. evil. Discover the origins of St. Nick and follow along as the Guardians start their quest to rid the world of nightmares in the first Guardians chapter book from Academy Award winner William Joyce that inspired the beloved film, The Rise of the Guardians. Before SANTA was SANTA, he was North, Nicholas St. North—a daredevil swordsman whose prowess with double scimitars was legendary. Like any swashbuckling young warrior, North seeks treasure and adventure, leading him to the fiercely guarded village of Santoff Claussen, said to be home to the greatest treasure in all the East, and to an even greater wizard, Ombric Shalazar. But when North arrives, legends of riches have given way to terrors of epic proportions! North must decide whether to seek his fortune…or save the village. When our rebellious hero gets sucked into the chaos (literally), the fight becomes very personal. The Nightmare King and his evil Fearlings are ruling the night, owning the shadows, and sending waves of fear through all of Santoff Clausen. For North, this is a battle worth fighting…and, he’s not alone. There are five other Guardians out there. He only has to find them in time.

Coleção Aventuras Encantadas Antes de São Nicolau ter sido São Nicolau, ele era Norte, Nicolau São Norte, um destemido espadachim, rufião e notório fora da lei. Sua destreza com todo tipo de armamento era notável. Tesouros e riquezas eram o que buscava a todo custo. Estava longe de ser um herói. Mas heróis não nascem heróis... eles são colocados à prova. Quando vilões verdadeiros entram em cena, na forma volátil de Breu e seus temíveis Medonhos, Norte encontra outro uso para suas famosas habilidades de lutador. Aqui, no primeiro volume de uma série de épicas aventuras dos Guardiões, encontre o lendário São Nicolau. Você deve conhecê-lo há anos, mas, na realidade, você não o conhece nem um pouco... Luzes irradiadas pela lua, usadas exclusivamente para proteger as crianças; vaga-lumes que lutam bravamente e ursos tão benevolentes quanto os de pelúcia são alguns dos elementos mágicos apresentados por William Joyce em Nicolau São Norte e a batalha contra o Rei dos Pesadelos, primeiro livro da série Os Guardiões - que deu origem ao filme A origem dos Guardiões. O resultado é um conto de fadas moderno, surpreendente e inusitado.
