The two previous volumes in this series, The Raven
Boys and The Dream Thieves, were on the New York Times’ best seller list and
Blue Lily, Lily Blue is likely
to appear there, too. All three focus on
the legend of Glendower, a vanished Welsh king, and the search for him by Gansey
and the other Raven Boys who attend Aglionby Academy for Boys in Henrietta, Virginia.
Blue is the daughter of the local
psychic and has been warned
that she will cause her true love to die. She is not concerned until she meets Gansey and the other Raven Boys in these supernatural thrillers featuring magic and the occult - perfect selections for the Halloween season.
The
first book in the series is on this year’s Abe Lincoln nominee list – click here

released book three, Blue Lily, Lily Blue, is called a “marvel
of imagination and invention” in a starred review in Booklist. And Publishers
Weekly‘s starred review praises the novel as “sumptuous, thrilling reading
[with] curses, grisly secret plots, and romantic uncertainties…” Readers are raving, too! Pick up these titles
by Maggie Stiefvater (award-winning author of Shiver) if you are a fan
of The Hunger Games, Divergent, or The Maze Runner and want
to start another great dystopian fantasy series.
