Shiver

A Love Written in the Cold

In Shiver, Maggie Stiefvater crafts a haunting, lyrical romance set in the snowy woods of Mercy Falls. For years, Grace has watched the wolves behind her house—especially the one with the golden eyes. Quiet, powerful, and always watching, he feels more familiar than any person she knows. What she doesn’t realize is that her wolf is not just a wolf at all.

Two Worlds, One Fragile Connection

Sam lives two lives—one as a boy during the fleeting summer months, and the other as a wolf when the cold returns. As winter draws near, his time as a human runs out. When fate finally brings Grace and Sam face-to-face, their connection is undeniable. But with the changing seasons threatening to separate them forever, they must fight to hold onto their love before it’s lost to the cold.

A Story of Beauty, Danger, and First Love

With poetic prose and an aching sense of longing, Shiver is the first in a captivating trilogy about identity, sacrifice, and the kind of love that doesn’t fade with the frost. It’s a story where the line between human and wild blurs—and where love is the only thing warm enough to survive the winter.
