<span><i>“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.”</i><br><br>It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>For as 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’s not so sure anymore.<br><br><b>From Maggie Stiefvater, the bestselling and acclaimed author of the <i>Shiver</i> trilogy and <i>The Scorpio Races</i>,
 comes a spellbinding new series where the inevitability of death and 
the nature of love lead us to a place we’ve never been before.</b></span>
