A new story inspired by Disney Tim Burton's The Night Before Christmas and the bestselling novel by Megan Shepard! Jack Skellington and Sally have been married for a year now, and through that, Sally has taken to her role as queen with boundless determination. However, balancing being a queen of Halloween Town with the expectations of others has brought about just as much uncertainty to her life, as she attempts to bring cooperation and peace to the citizens of all the holiday lands. She's been stretched thin by her many duties, and unsure what lies in her future. While visiting her parents in Dream Town, Sally sees something special in a patchwork girl named Luna Slumberly, and decides to take on the young girl as an apprentice. The inaugural Halloween Town exhibition was meant to be the moment for Luna to demonstrate what she'd learned about spells, but things go awry as Sally and Luna are both flung into a new realm called Time Town. Now Sally and Luna must find a way back, but nothing about their attempt to return home proves simple, as Halloween Town has been thrust back in time. Sally wants nothing more than to get home to Jack, and thus the pair embarks on a realms-wide adventure – encountering new lands, friends, and foes along the way. Time is running out, however, and Sally will have to figure out what future she wants, and what she's willing to sacrifice to get it.
