<p>As it had been foretold, the armies of the Universe gathered at Trenzalore. Only one thing stood between the planet and destruction ¿ the Doctor. For nine hundred years, he defended the planet, and the tiny town of Christmas, against the forces that would destroy it. <br><br>Some of what happened during those terrible years is well documented. But most of it has remained shrouded in mystery and darkness. Until now. <br><br>This is a glimpse of just <i>some</i> of the terrors the people faced, the monstrous threats the Doctor defeated. These are the tales of the monsters who found themselves afraid - and of the one man who was not. <br><br>(<b><i>Tales of Trenzalore</i></b> collects four of the Doctor¿s adventures from different periods during the Siege of Trenzalore and the ensuing battle: <br><br><i>Let it Snow</i> ¿ by Justin Richards<br><i>An Apple a Day</i> ¿ by George Mann<br><i>Strangers in the Outland</i> ¿ by Paul Finch<br><i>The Dreaming</i> ¿ by Mark Morris)</p>
