Description

The first electrifying book in Maggie Stiefvater’s The
Raven Cycle series.
“There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit
on St. Mark’s Eve…

Either you’re his true love… or you killed him.”

Part of a clairvoyant family, Blue has spent sixteen years being
told that if she kisses her true love, he will die.

So when she meets Gansey’s spirit on the corpse road, Blue knows
that either he is her true love – or she has killed him.

The boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her. His
name is Gansey, and he is a student at Aglionby, a wealthy local
private school. With three other mysterious and privileged boys,
he is on a quest to find the grave of Glendower – a Welsh king buried
somewhere on a Virginia ley line. Whoever finds him will be
granted a supernatural favour.

Never before has Blue felt such magic around her. But is Gansey
really her true love – the one she is destined to kill?

Blue never fully believed in the prophecy. But as she is caught
up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not
so sure anymore.

Absolutely addictive writing for teen girls… and grown-up girls…
Magic, mystery and adventure at every turn

From the bestselling author of Shiver, Linger
and Forever which all debuted at #1 on the UK book bestseller
charts

Film rights to The Raven Cycle have been acquired
