Per FSG, the book explores a “new iteration of the far right” comprising an alliance of “religious fundamentalists, Silicon Valley technologists, and ethno-nationalists” who are “united in their belief that some kind of cleansing cataclysm is coming” and “convinced they will be among the saved.” Release is set for September 2026.

The Latest in Children’s and YA Deals
New projects this week include Like the Moon We Rise by Annabelle Cormack, a debut YA fantasy following Auriel, a servant-witch who is offered a bargain by the haughty Prince Ambrose: pretend to be the enchantress prophesied to liberate his people from the cruel Empress, and live a life of luxury and power, but the more Auriel learns about the Empress, the less sure she is that she’s the enemy; Kiersten White’s Wilde and Wicked, in which a girl reluctantly accepts a boarding school scholarship, only to discover she's the heir to a notorious magical bloodline everyone thought was destroyed; and Seven Dishes to Fall in Love by debut author Kate Emilie, a speculative contemporary novel aimed at fans of You’ve Reached Sam and If I Stay, which follows teenager Zoe who becomes suspended between life and death and must untangle her life-altering regret before her death becomes permanent.
