​
"The Raven Boys"
​
"There are only two reasons a non-seer
would see a spirit on St. Mark's Eve," Neeve said. "Either you're his true love ... or you killed him."
It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.
Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them - not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.
His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.
But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can't entirely explain. He has it all - family money, good looks, devoted friends - but
he's looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little.
For long as she can remember, Blue has
been warned that she will cause her true
love to die. She never thought this would
be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world
of the Raven Boys, she isn't sure anymore.
