Shiver
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’s novels are an invitation to step into worlds that shimmer with magic, mystery, and the pull of the unknown. With a style as poetic as it is profound, her writing captures the delicate balance between reality and fantasy, creating characters and stories that resonate long after the last page is turned. Known for her deeply atmospheric and emotionally complex tales, Stiefvater has carved out a distinctive place in the world of young adult fiction.
Born in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Stiefvater’s love for storytelling blossomed early, though she initially pursued music, playing the harp and composing her own music. This musical background informs her writing, bringing a rhythm and cadence to her prose that mirrors the flow of a song. Her stories, often filled with a sense of melancholy and longing, weave together themes of fate, love, and the magical unknown.
