   Summary

   What happens when all the fear in the world is taken away? What if children were never scared, never hesitated?

   A dark and mature retelling of the 2012 Rise of the Guardians, in which Jack investigates how the Guardians came to be, what his purpose is, and why the Guardians are so desperate to kill Pitch Black.
