Magical, elegant, brutal, imaginative, thrilling and totally different. Want supernatural fiction that takes you way beyond the cliches? This is it. All her life, Blue has been warned that when she kisses her true love, he’ll die. This never used to bother her. Who believes in true love anyway? And the psychic vision hinting that her true love is a student at the posh Aglionby Academy? Total rubbish, of course. She’d never fall for one of those stuck-up guys. But that was before she met the Raven Boys: on a quest to find a buried Welsh king. That was before ancient magic snapped awake, and dreams started coming to life. That was before Blue realised true love is real. Before all the wonder and insanity of this majestic saga went down…

Beautiful, pitch-perfect writing that feels completely effortless

By the bestselling author of Shiver, Ballad and The Scorpio Races

A contemporary paranormal fantasy full of depth and resonance

Perfectly captures love and life in Blue’s small Virginia town

“The prose is crisp and dazzling and the dialogue positively crackles.” School Library Journal

“An absolute marvel of imagination and an irresistible invitation to wonder.” Booklist

“A dizzying paranormal romance tinged with murder and Welsh mythology.” Los Angeles Times

Maggie Stiefvater

Maggie Stiefvater’s life decisions have revolved around her inability to be gainfully employed. Talking to yourself, staring into space, and coming to work in your pyjamas are frowned upon when you’re a waitress, calligraphy instructor, or technical editor (all of which she’s tried), but are highly prized traits in novelists and artists (she’s made her living as one or the other since she was twenty-two). Maggie now lives a surprisingly eccentric life in the middle of nowhere, Virginia, with her charmingly straight-laced husband, two kids, and multiple neurotic dogs.
