Four teenagers are on a quest to find Glendower, an ancient Welsh king, and the magical reward that comes with the discovery. On their search, they encounter secret forests that stop time, fanciful legends that began in truth, and unsavory characters that will do anything to find Glendower first. While the book version of The Raven Boys is lyrical and beautifully written, the graphic novel version brings the story and characters to life with expressive artwork.
Publisher's description:
Blue Sargent comes from a family of psychics. Only, she has never had the same clairvoyant abilities they had and has always felt too ordinary within the magic that surrounded her. 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. But when Gansey asks her to join him and three other Raven Boys on his quest to find a long-forgotten Welsh king rumored to be sleeping beneath the mountains of their quiet Virginia town, Blue doesn't hesitate. 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.
