Blue Sargent, the only non-clairvoyant in a family of clairvoyants, sits in the isolated and abandoned churchyard with her Aunt Neeve on St. Mark’s Eve where her aunt watches the soon-t0-be dead walk by.  Then she sees a boy!  Blue Sargent, non-clairvoyant, sees a soon-to-be dead boy!  “Get his name,” Neeve commands.  Blue asks the boy his name.  “Gansy.” Why could Blue see him?  “There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve, Blue. Either you’re his true love,” Neeve said, “or you killed him.”  Gansy and Blue meet.  Blue finds herself drawn to Gansy.  Gansy attends Aglionby, a local private school in Henreitta. He’s a Raven boy.  Gansy and his friends, Ronan, Adam and Noah, are on a quest.  Blue is caught up in their quest all the while knowing that within the year Gansy will be dead.
