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?
