“Adam thought there was something in his eye.
[…]
Cabeswater had been taking so long to come to his aid. Something had been attacking them both.”
- The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater, Ch. 13
(this is my entry for the trk art contest! i’ve been wanting to draw a scene from this chapter since reading the book, so this was the perfect excuse to do so. i had to upload it in two pieces since tumblr has wonky rules about proportions, but you can see the full size image here, as well as details here and an alternate color version here!)
after years of waiting, it finally happens- maggie stiefvater releases the first book of the ronan lynch trilogy. you’re at the bookstore at the release, practically shaking with excitement, passing the hours by swapping theories and headcanons with friends.
at midnight, you dash to the cash register, slamming your money on the counter and taking the novel, thanking the cashier as you squeeze your way through the crowd.
sitting in the passenger seat of your friend’s car, you open the book, barely suppressing tears of joy. taking a deep breath, you crack open the spine.
you read the first words- “Squash one, squash two,” and on and on and on. horrified, you turn the page. this can’t be right, this can’t be all! but the book is empty. the ronan lynch trilogy is the murder squash song, and that is all.
