About this Event

Join Blacklisted Book Club for an intimate London launch of Firstborn of the Sun with the brilliant Marvellous Michael Anson. This special evening offers a rare chance to step inside the world of her debut epic fantasy - one that has captivated readers with its rich storytelling and deep roots in Yoruba heritage.
Marvellous will be in conversation, sharing the journey behind the book, exploring its inspirations, and answering your questions in an open Q&A. Whether you’re already a fan or discovering the story for the first time, this is an opportunity to connect - with the author, the story, and a community of readers.
What’s included
Your ticket grants you entry to the event, a paperback copy of Firstborn of the Sun, and complimentary refreshments. A selection of additional drinks and snacks will also be available to purchase at the bar.
The experience
Expect an evening of powerful storytelling, African mythology, and meaningful conversation in an intimate setting. This isn’t just a book launch - it’s a moment to celebrate culture, creativity, and connection.
