Blue Lily, Lily Blue

Stiefvater, Maggie. Blue Lily, Lily Blue. 2015. 391p. ISBN 978-0-5454-2496-7. Available at FIC STI on the library shelves.




With the summer coming to an end, Aglionby's Raven Boys are getting ready to go back to school, and so is Blue. Having spent most days looking searching for the Welsh king Glendower, they are not very keen on returning for their senior year.


Malory, Gansey’s professor friend from England comes over to assist him in the search. Adam must deal with the repercussions of pressing charges against his father as well as his new role as caretaker of Cabeswater. Ronan is still mad at the world but returns to his father’s estate to search for a way to bring back all of the Dream Thieves' creations that currently sleep away.


Mr. Gray remains at 300 Fox Way with Persephone and Calla, but Maura is gone, having disappeared in Cabeswater’s underground tunnels in her own quest. And there is yet another new Latin teacher in town: Greenmantle, Mr. Gray’s employer, has taken the position to find and punish Mr. Gray and those he loves.


Pursued by Greenmantle and led by a foretold tale that there are three sleepers below, Blue and her friends decide that their only option is to dig deep in Cabeswater and explore the caves underneath the ley line. One of the sleepers must be awakened, and one must not. But what about the others?


As the Raven Boys and Blue get closer to discovering Glendower, the cost keeps on mounting. As they are forced to face their worst fears and wake up one of the sleepers, their loss may be too large to comprehend.
