About the Book
Filled with mystery, romance, and the supernatural, The Raven Boys introduces readers to Richard “Dick” Campbell Gansey, III and Blue
Sargent. Gansey has it all — family money, good looks, devoted friends — but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on the hunt to find
Glendower, a vanished Welsh king. Legend has it that the first person to find him will be granted a wish — either by seeing him open his eyes, or
by cutting out his heart.
Blue Sargent, the daughter of the town psychic in Henrietta,
Virginia, has been told for as long as she can remember that if she ever kisses her true love, he will die. But she is too practical to believe
in things like true love. Her policy is to stay away from the rich boys
at the prestigious Aglionby Academy. The boys there — known as Raven
Boys — can only mean trouble. When Gansey and his Raven Boy friends come
into her life, Blue realizes how true this is. She never thought her
fortune would be a problem. But she was wrong.
