For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf – her wolf – is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human... until the cold makes him shift back again.

Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human – or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.

Maggie Stiefvater

Maggie Stiefvater writes stories that feel like waking dreams, where reality and myth move together in ways that seem both inevitable and strange. Beloved for The Raven Cycle and The Scorpio Races, she has become one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary young adult fantasy. Her books are not only about magic but about mood, about the electric charge between characters, and about the beauty and danger of the unknown.

She grew up in Virginia, a homeschooled teenager who spent more time with sketchbooks, instruments, and notebooks than anything else. By sixteen she had already written dozens of novels, a private training ground for the voice that would later draw readers around the world. Her early life still lingers in her work: the wild landscapes, the haunting music, the fascination with cars and speed, and the sense that imagination is never fully separate from the everyday.

Her career took flight with Shiver, the first in The Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy, which captured the hearts of readers across the globe and stayed on bestseller lists for over a year. She followed with The Scorpio Races, a novel that earned a Printz Honor and established her as an author who could craft myth with lyrical precision. Then came The Raven Cycle, where psychics, dead kings, and dreamers collide with friendships as fragile and fierce as real life. More recently, she has expanded that world with the Dreamer Trilogy and ventured into retellings with Bravely, a reimagining of Disney’s Brave.

Beyond the page, Stiefvater is a musician, artist, and car enthusiast. She records original music for her audiobooks, creates tarot decks, and restores vintage vehicles, all of which bleed into the textures of her stories. That variety of passions gives her novels a sensory richness, and readers often describe them not just as stories, but as atmospheres.

Awards and critical acclaim have followed her work, but her lasting impact comes from something quieter: the way readers carry her characters with them long after closing the book. Whether it is the impossible horses of The Scorpio Races or the dreamers of The Raven Cycle, her stories remind us that magic often lives where the ordinary world grows thin.

The Wolves of Mercy Falls

When Grace falls in love with Sam, a boy who must become a wolf each winter, they must decide how much they're willing to risk in order to be together.
