Review
"Achingly gorgeous. Fury seduced me."--Lauren Kate, New York Times bestselling author of Fallen
Review
"A fresh dark twist on paranormal, with surprises around every corner.
Fury kept me up all night!"
--Nancy Holder, New York Times Bestselling Author of Wicked and Crusade
Review
"The furies are reinvented in eerie modern form, wreaking havoc in the lives of a group of teens in a fictional Maine town in this spine-prickling debut, first in a planned trilogy.... Deliciously chilling."
--Kirkus Reviews, July 15, 2011
Review
“Pick up Portland writer Elizabeth Miles' first novel, "Fury," and you might wonder if Stephen King once drove to her house from Bangor, sprinkling handfuls of "Carrie" dust along the way.... Greater forces are at work here than raging teenage hormones. Greater achievements are at stake than basketball games or going steady. And greater consequences await than any of the young people of Ascension can envision.” -The Portland Press Herald

Synopsis
In this chilling start to a trilogy rife with revenge, two teens learn the hard way: Sometimes sorry isn't enough.
It's winter break in Ascension, Maine. The snow is falling and everything looks pristine and peaceful. But not all is as it seems...
Between cozy traditions and parties with her friends, Emily loves the holidays. And this year's even better--the guy she's been into for months is finally noticing her. But Em knows if she starts things with him, there's no turning back. Because his girlfriend is Em's best friend.
On the other side of town, Chase is having problems of his own. The stress of his home life is starting to take its toll, and his social life is unraveling. But that's nothing compared to what's really haunting him. Chase has done something cruel...something the perfect guy he pretends to be would never do. And it's only a matter of time before he's exposed.
In Ascension, mistakes can be deadly. And three girls--three beautiful, mysterious girls--are here to choose who will pay. Em and Chase have been chosen.
