Bound by Fury by Noelle Monét (Margaret K. McElderry Books) - moved from Spring 2026.
The ancestral magic and feuding bloodlines of WITCHES STEEPED IN GOLD meets the themes of ACE OF SPADES, but set in a town infused with magic like in THE RAVEN BOYS, in this atmospheric debut YA Contemporary Fantasy with Dark Academia and Romantic elements.
When her 16th birthday comes and passes without the magic promised by her now deceased grandmother, Harper feels vindicated in her doubts about Gigi’s fanciful stories featuring pretty brown girls with magic in their blood. But when a rage-inducing encounter brings forth strange new abilities, Harper follows them to the one school she promised she’d never attend.
Perched atop a small Appalachian town called Earnest, Black Mountain Academy looms in the background of every memory worth having. Creaky, old, and haunted by the town’s insidious past, Harper is sure BMA has the answers she’s looking for. But when the truth about a missing student parallels her life in more ways than one, what Harper finds is more sinister than she ever imagined.
Ancient magic, vengeful ancestors, and Kai Matsoukas—her childhood best friend turned disgustingly hot mortal enemy. The closer she gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes: if Harper wants to survive BMA she’ll have to do two things first. Kill Kai Matsoukas and transform into something she never knew existed.
