[<b>STAR</b>] "Sparks fly...This first novel will please fans of Cassandra Clare and<i>Game of Thrones</i> watchers with its remarkable world building; richly developed characters...[and] a breathtaking climax that...cannot come soon enough!""<b>—<i>Booklist,</i> Starred</b><br><br>For fans of Cassandra Clare's <i>City of Bones</i> and Laini Taylor's <i>Daughter of Smoke & Bone</i>,<i>The Girl at Midnight</i> is the story of a modern girl caught in an ancient war.<br>Beneath the streets of New York City live the Avicen, an ancient race of people with feathers for hair and magic running through their veins. Age-old enchantments keep them hidden from humans. All but one. Echo is a runaway pickpocket who survives by selling stolen treasures on the black market, and the Avicen are the only family she's ever known.<br>Echo is clever and daring, and at times she can be brash, but above all else she's fiercely loyal. So when a centuries-old war crests on the borders of her home, she decides it's time to act.<br>Legend has it that there is a way to end the conflict once and for all: find the Firebird, a mythical entity believed to possess power the likes of which the world has never seen. It will be no easy task, though if life as a thief has taught Echo anything, it's how to hunt down what she wants . . . and how to take it.<br>But some jobs aren't as straightforward as they seem. And this one might just set the world on fire.<br><br>[<b>STAR</b>] "Grey's energetic debut offers a strong protagonist...[and the] well-built world, vivid characters, and perfect blend of action and amour should have readers eagerly seeking the sequel."<b>—<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>,<i></i>Starred</b><br><br>"A feisty heroine, fun supporting characters, a mission to save the world, and some seriously spicy romance."—<i><b>School Library Journal</b></i><br><br>“Fast paced, action packed, and full of laughs.”—<b>Nerdist.com</b><br><br>"Enthralling and pure magic, Grey's debut is delightful!"—<i><b>Romantic Times</b></i><br><br>“Catnip for fans of Cassadra Clare.”—<b>BookPage.com<br><br></b>“A page-turner—I was hooked from start to finish.”—<i><b><b><i>Latina Magazine<br><br></i></b></b></i>“Sharp drama that leads to a conclusion begging for a sequel.”—<i><b><b><i><b><i>The Bulletin</i></b><br></i></b><br></b></i>"Inventive, gorgeous, and epic—Grey dazzles in her debut."—Danielle Paige,<i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Dorothy Must Die<br></i><br>“A stunning debut.
