The Firstborn: House of Heaventree Book 1
They must leave home now. They were told it's time--that they're finally ready.
After the Great Storms, communications were down for a year and a half, and society was crippled. So when the G.O.D. (Global Operational Datalink) switch was finally turned on, the world was starved for electronic devices and ripe for what would happen next. It was the beginning of the end. Anyone who didn't receive the mark of the Global Union was an outsider, shunned--which made Flare and Cornelius Flanagan about as unpopular as two teens could be.
Fourteen-year old Cornelius and 15-year-old Flare must suddenly leave home for a secret boarding school. Will it prepare and protect them as their parents hope it will, or could the school be a trap instead--prepared by the enemy?
The Firstborn is Book 1 in the House of Heaventree series and award-winning novelist Nicole Seitz' first YA endeavor. Informed by Scripture and fascinated by prophecy, Seitz explores the perseverance and endurance that young people of faith will be called to...someday soon.

The First Born is a novel that gives Christian teen writing a new twist.
A brother and sister duo are sent to a mysterious boarding school by their parents and must navigate to its hidden location in the dark of night. Together with a handful of other teens, they soon find out that it is no ordinary school.
Soon after their arrival, the students are pushed to limits they didn’t know they could tackle, and along the way find traits and strengths they didn’t know they possessed.
Seitz does an amazing job weaving the messages and symbolism of the scriptures into a plotline that is full of mystery and cliffhangers.
Although it is small, the pages are packed with mighty thoughts, ideas, and messages that are important without being so complex that they might go over a teen’s head.
This book was wonderful and I cannot wait for the sequel.
