Blue Sargent Timeline and Summary

•  Back
• More 

• Blue has always known that she'll kill her true love if she kisses him. How delightful. Isn't it nice to live with a bunch of real live psychics? You get to learn that kind of stuff about your future.
• When Blue's Aunt Neeve comes to stay with them, she tells Blue that she will fall in love this year. She also takes Blue to the church on St. Mark's Eve to take down the names of people who will die.
• At the church, Blue sees one of the spirits (even though she normally sees nothing). The guy's name is Gansey, and this means that Blue will either fall in love with him or kill him.
• Blue goes to work as a waitress after school and has an altercation with an annoyingly snobby boy who wants her to talk to his friend Adam. He tells her that he'll pay her, which makes her furious because she feels like she's being treated like a prostitute.
• Later on, Adam (the friend) comes up to Blue and apologizes. He's cute and seems like a nice guy, so she gives him her phone number.
• Her mom tells her that someone named "Gansey" has made an appointment for a psychic reading. When he appears, Blue realizes with horror that this "Gansey" fellow is the rude boy from the restaurant—she refuses to fall in love with him.
• Adam contacts Blue eventually with a bouquet of flowers, flirts with her, and invites her out to explore with his friends. She finds out that Gansey and his buddies are on the hunt for some magical energy roads called ley lines.
• Blue leads the boys to the church where she carried out the St. Mark's Eve ritual with her aunt. There, they find evidence of magic, including a stream where fish appear out of nowhere and a tree that gives them strange visions.
• Meanwhile at home, Blue is becoming increasingly worried about her Aunt Neeve. She's seen her possessed by some sort of strange spirit, and so Blue asks one of the other psychics to help her go through Aunt Neeve's stuff.
• Blue continues to hang out with the boys, even though her mom warns her not to. On one of their adventures, she and Gansey (who are now getting along) stumble across something terrible: a dead body.
• They find out that the dead body belongs to their friend Noah. He didn't die recently, though—he's been dead this whole time. They never realized that he was a ghost.
• When Blue and the raven boys try to figure out what happened to him, they discover that Barrington Whelk—the Latin teacher at Aglionby—killed Noah seven years ago. He did it in order to wake up the ley line, but the ritual failed.
• At home, Blue is confronted by her mother about disobeying her and hanging out with the boys. She also discovers that Aunt Neeve has been going into the spirit world to seek someone… and that someone is Blue's father.
• After they learn of Whelk's plan to reenact the ritual, Adam goes missing. They all realize that he's gone to wake up the ley line, and Blue goes with the other boys to see if they can save or stop him.
• They get there in time to see Adam sacrifice himself in the pentagram. He doesn't die, but a herd of magical creatures comes out and tramples Whelk to death.
• Later on, the trees tell them that they know where Glendower's body lies on the ley line.
• Weeks later, Noah's bones are buried at long last. At the funeral, Blue goes up to Noah's parents to tell them that she has a message for them from him. They get mad, but after she gives the message they start to cry.
• After the funeral, she waits around with the other raven boys until everyone's gone. Then they dig up Noah's bones and place them back on the ley line so that his spirit has enough power to come back to them.
