1947: The magical world is rebuilding, but the shadows of the Great Wizarding War remain. Jack Semmes, a cocky fifteen-year-old American, becomes the first student from Ilvermorny Academy of Magic admitted to Hogwarts. He expects bad food and incomprehensible accents—not a school steeped in secrets or a Europe on the brink of magical upheaval. Grindelwald may be gone, but his ideology lingers. Students are vanishing, alliances are fracturing, and someone within Hogwarts is plotting to destroy the fragile peace between magical Britain and America. In a castle where walls spy, ghosts take sides, and trust is a dangerous gamble, Jack must navigate house rivalries, cryptic allies, and a deadly conspiracy that could ignite another war—this time, between both wizard and Muggle worlds. The Boy from MACUSA is a thrilling tale of magic, murder, and betrayal, where wands aren’t the only weapons and the stakes are nothing less than the future of two worlds.
