Welcome, welcome back to the mysteriously enchanting world of CARAVAL! Return to the legendary magic and the whimsical wonder with this beautifully illustrated holiday novella.
Snowflakes are falling.
Invitations are arriving.
And holiday magic is swirling in the capital city of the Meridian Empire.
It’s Great Holiday Eve Eve. Scarlett Dragna is planning a spectacular Holiday celebration for the city. Donatella is searching for the perfect gift. Julian is looking ridiculously handsome in green. And Legend . . .
Well, sadly Legend is not fond of the Great Holiday. Tella is hoping her perfect gift will change his mind. Unfortunately, she hasn’t found this perfect gift just yet. But it is Great Holiday Eve Eve . . . surely there’s some holiday magic swirling around.
Welcome, welcome back to the world of Caraval, where even holidays are not as they seem.
Set after Stephanie Garber's #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling Caraval series, this delightful novella will take readers on the ultimate holiday adventure full of clockwork boys, poisoned candy, impish snow globes, merriment, and―if Tella gets her way―love.
Gorgeously illustrated by Rosie Thorns, SPECTACULAR is the perfect edition for collectors, readers, dreamers, and lovers of holiday magic.

Stephanie Garber
Stephanie Garber is a name that has become synonymous with immersive, magical storytelling. Known for her Caraval series, she has captivated readers with tales of adventure, wonder, and the blurred lines between reality and illusion. Her works are a delicate dance between lush world-building, high-stakes drama, and unforgettable characters, each of whom wrestles with love, betrayal, and their deepest desires.
Born and raised in California, Garber’s childhood was filled with a love for stories—whether those stories came from books, her imagination, or the vibrant tales spun by the people around her. She credits this passion for storytelling as the foundation of her writing career. Like many writers, she began crafting her own narratives in the form of short stories and even plays. It wasn’t until her late twenties that she turned to novel writing, finding a place to fully explore the fantastical worlds that had always lived in her mind.
