She never thought this would be a problem.

Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.īut Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can't entirely explain. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue herself never sees them - not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her. Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.
