Simon & Schuster has bought a debut teen paranormal trilogy for global publication in autumn 2011.
Editorial director Venetia Gosling bought UK and Commonwealth rights (excluding Canada) for three books from Caspian Dennis at Abner Stein, who was sub-agenting for Stephen Barbara at Foundry in the US.
The trilogy, comprising Fury, Envy and Eternity, is written by Elizabeth Miles. It is about three furies who exact vengeance on a group of teenagers deemed to have wronged others.
The book will be published simultaneously in autumn 2011 with S&S sister companies in the US and Australia. The publisher said the hardback publication would be backed with a "high profile" PR and marketing campaign.
Gosling said: "Fury is the sexiest, most suspenseful YA paranormal proposal to have landed on my desk this year – the opening pages had our whole team gripped and we are really excited about the huge potential for this debut trilogy – it’s going to be the next Hush, Hush!"
