The Raven Boys

More about the book

"There are only two reasons a nonseer would see a spirit on St. Mark's Eve," Neeve said. "Either you're his true love... or you killed him." In a freezing churchyard, Blue Sargent stands with her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk by. This year, however, she sees one: Gansey, a wealthy student from Aglionby, the local private school. Blue typically avoids Aglionby boys, known as Raven Boys, as they bring trouble. Yet, she feels an inexplicable pull toward Gansey, who, despite his privilege, seeks something deeper. He is on a quest involving three other Raven Boys: Adam, a scholarship student grappling with resentment; Ronan, a fierce spirit oscillating between anger and despair; and Noah, a quiet observer who notices much but speaks little. Blue has long been warned that she will cause her true love to die, a fate she never thought would concern her. As she becomes entangled in the eerie world of the Raven Boys, her certainty begins to waver. This spellbinding series from the acclaimed author of the Shiver trilogy and The Scorpio Races explores the intersections of love, death, and destiny, leading readers to uncharted territories.
