    "description": "<p>&ldquo;There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark&rsquo;s Eve,&rdquo; Neeve said. &ldquo;Either you&rsquo;re his true love . . . or you killed him.&rdquo;<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&mdash;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&rsquo;t entirely explain. He has it all&mdash;family money, good looks, devoted friends&mdash;but he&rsquo;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&rsquo;s not so sure anymore.</p>",
