Tobias Lykke is big, awkward, and accustomed to spending his holidays alone. This year, however, his godmother-who may or may not be an Italian countess-gives him an elf doll originally entrusted to her by her second husband, who might or might not have been a wizard.

An evening of THC snickerdoodles and an offhand wish later, Tobias finds himself faced with a living, breathing elf-and a royal elf at that-with an exceptionally traumatic past. Bloodthirsty trolls are on a mission to recapture Prince Alfie, and the search for answers leads Tobias to unexpected discoveries about himself... and deep feelings for Alfie. Now, they just need to live long enough to make sense of it all.
