Today Maggie posted not only the title of her next project (previously known as “MagicalNovel”) but also the cover and the blurb:
Filled with mystery, romance, and the supernatural, The Raven Boys introduces readers to Richard “Dick” Campbell Gansey, III and Blue Sargent. Gansey has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on the hunt to find Glendower, a vanished Welsh king. Legend has it that the first person to find him will be granted a wish—either by seeing him open his eyes, or by cutting out his heart.
Blue Sargent, the daughter of the town psychic in Henrietta, Virginia, has been told for as long as she can remember that if she ever kisses her true love, he will die. But she is too practical to believe in things like true love. Her policy is to stay away from the rich boys at the prestigious Aglionby Academy. The boys there—known as Raven Boys—can only mean trouble. When Gansey and his Raven Boy friends come into her life, Blue realizes how true this is. She never thought her fortune would be a problem. But she was wrong.
Sounds cool, right? Add that to my love for all of Stiefvater’s novels and this is in my cart faster than you can you say preorder. I think I may have to go the signed/doodled route this time and preorder through Fountain Bookstore. The Raven Boys is the first book in a four-book series and releases on September 18. Cannot wait!
I’m tempted to get a signed/doodled copy as well but I have no idea how expensive international shipping will be.
Boo international shipping.
I love that they kept the font her name is in from THE SCORPIO RACES. So excited about this one.
That is a nice touch.
I’ve had mixed reactions to her last couple of books, but I am always among the first in line for any Maggie venture! The raven image on the front is awesome.

I’ve checked, ladies, they don’t do international shipping at all! I wanted to get one too, no matter the cost.
Yesterday I went to The Book Depository to see if it’s already there. I wanted to preorder it already, you know, just in case they sell all the copies and there isn’t anything left for me, haha. I’m THAT paranoid when it comes to Maggie.
Anyway, I think this is my most highly anticipated 2012 release. SO excited!

OH. That’s unfortunate. Lol, love it Maja. I hope you preordered or will get to soon.
