NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A gorgeously illustrated graphic novel adaptation of the first book in Maggie Stiefvater’s #1 New York Times bestselling series The Raven Cycle!Blue Sargent comes from a family of psychics.

Enter Gansey, a rich student from Aglionby, the town’s all-boys private school teeming with wealth, privilege, and trouble. Blue's always made it a point to stay away from its students, the Raven Boys.

She jumps at the chance to finally be a part of something real and full of magic, a world she was born into yet one that always stood just out of reach. Soon enough, she’s swept into a strange and shifting world woven into theirs, one far more dangerous than anything they could have dreamt up.
Now reimagined as a stunning full-color graphic novel adapted by Stephanie Williams and illustrated by Sas Milledge,
