Bound by Magic: The summer that changed everything. B&W

What if the greatest magic wasn't found in a wand-but in the choices we make for the people we love?

For two hundred years, Karl has lived alone inside an ancient mansion hidden deep within a forgotten forest. Once a young wizard's apprentice, he was transformed into a talking mouse when a powerful spell went terribly wrong. Trapped between childhood and immortality, Karl spends his endless days studying magic, searching for a lost wand, and dreaming of the day he might become human again.

Everything changes when sixteen-year-old Noah arrives.

After the death of his father, Noah travels to his family's ancestral estate hoping to escape his grief and discover where he truly belongs. Instead, he discovers a mansion filled with living magic, talking portraits, secret passageways, enchanted books, and a mysterious mouse who has been waiting two centuries for a second chance.

As their friendship grows, Karl and Noah uncover long-buried secrets hidden within the walls of the mansion. They meet three cursed sisters trapped in the form of goats, explore forgotten rooms that should not exist, and unravel a magical mystery that reaches back generations.

But time is running out.

Noah is hiding a dangerous secret of his own.

As his health begins to fail, Karl faces an impossible choice: continue pursuing his dream of becoming human again or sacrifice everything to save the only true friend he has ever known.

Filled with unforgettable characters, heartwarming friendship, magical adventure, mystery, redemption, and powerful emotional twists, Bound By Magic: The Summer That Changed Everything is a coming-of-age fantasy that reminds us that courage is not the absence of fear, and true magic is found in love, loyalty, sacrifice, and hope.
