Hi, {{first_name | friend}}!
Calling all Hunger Games and Fourth Wing fans: your next obsession just arrived. This big crossover debut has deadly trials, dangerous magic, forbidden attraction, and the kind of impossible choices that make putting the book down simply not an option.
The Big Debut
Firstborn (Deluxe Edition)
The first children take up arms. The second children take up books. The third children are taken.
The Long Night is Bryn Ruelle’s final trial: take a life before dawn or face exile from the country she’s trained to defend. If she survives, she'll graduate to defending the country's borders against their magic-wielding neighbors.
But when she uncovers a plot to kidnap the Lastborn, including her youngest sister, she must figure out whether the threat is real or designed to sabotage her, forcing her to team up with an alluring traitor-born enemy to find the truth.
With danger closing in and forbidden attraction growing, Bryn must decide what matters most: her country, her family, or herself.

About the Author
M.J. Hastings is the oldest (and bossiest) of five sisters, which explains how she grew up to become an attorney, one who refused to have the imagination beaten out of her. She graduated from law school with honors and went on to serve as a federal law clerk and practice complex civil litigation. Her greatest education, however, was her childhood in rural Kentucky, which left an indelible mark on her life and her writing. M.J. lives in Louisville with her family. Firstborn is her debut novel.
