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
