In 'The Christmas Lie', Seth Grahame-Smith transports us to the first century AD, a world dominated by Emperor Caesar Augustus and Herod the Great, a corrupt and murderous puppet king who rules in Galilee. However, their power is threatened by the cynical and fierce Balthazar, who has sworn revenge on all Romans, becoming the legendary 'Ghost of Antioch'. After escaping a death sentence, he finds himself in front of a humble manger at the gates of Bethlehem alongside two unlikely traveling companions. The encounter with a young girl named Mary, her devoted companion Joseph, and their newborn son will forever change Balthazar's destiny. Although the time of great floods and magical creatures is over, the fight between good and evil continues. This is the beginning of an adventure that will lead them to fight against enemy armies, face hidden forces, confront the rising dead, and witness incredible miracles, all in an attempt to save a truly special child and with the hope of finding a mysteriously missing pendant.
