Only, she has never had the same clairvoyant abilities they had and has always felt too ordinary within the magic that surrounded her. Enter Gansey, a rich student from Aglionby, the town’s all-boys private school teeming with wealth, privilege, and trouble. Blue’s always made it a point to stay away from its students, the Raven Boys.But when Gansey asks her to join him and three other Raven Boys on his quest to find a long-forgotten Welsh king rumored to be sleeping beneath the mountains of their quiet Virginia town, Blue doesn’t hesitate. She jumps at the chance to finally be a part of something real and full of magic, a world she was born into yet one that always stood just out of reach. Soon enough, she’s swept into a strange and shifting world woven into theirs, one far more dangerous than anything they could have dreamt up.Now reimagined as a stunning full-color graphic novel adapted by Stephanie Williams and illustrated by Sas Milledge, The Raven Boys unravels a thrilling plot around a cast of characters impossible to forget. Maggie Stiefvater said, “As a creator, it was rewarding and exciting to come of age in Young Adult, watching the category change publishing in real time; I feel the same way about Graphic Novels now. I wanted the Raven Cycle to be a part of this, but only if the adaptation seethed with the same intentionality and specificity as the prose novels. Despite the magic, The Raven Boys is all about the gesture, and Sas is simply exceptional at the tiny evidences that prove humanity.” Meriam Metoui, Associate Editor at Viking BFYR, said, “This graphic novel adaptation is everything fans loved about the books but shone in a whole new light. It’s been a career highlight to be the editor on this and I’m thrilled we get to reintroduce Blue and her raven boys to new and old readers alike.” Cover art by Sas Milledge, design by Jim Hoover Maggie Stiefvater is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of novels for young people and adults, including the #1 New York Times bestselling series The Wolves of Mercy Falls, starting with Shiver, and The Raven Cycle, starting with The Raven Boys.

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Rep. Chip Roy said Congress should vote by the end of the year to repeal the law used by the Biden Department of Justice to throw pro-lifers in prison. “Obviously, we need to move the bill forward, and it would be critical because of what we’re seeing with respect to the persecution of Americans being put in jail,” the Texas Republican told The Daily Signal. Roy introduced a bill on Sept. 19, 2023, to repeal the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act of 1994, which “prohibits threats of force, obstruction and property damage intended to interfere with reproductive health care services.” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, introduced a Senate version of the bill the next month. Critics have accused the Biden administration’s DOJ of weaponizing the FACE Act against pro-lifers while failing to charge pro-abortion vandals for the hundreds of attacks on pro-life pregnancy help centers since the leak of the draft Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade in May 2022. Now that Republicans will have control of the House, Senate, and Executive Branch, Roy said Congress should vote to repeal the FACE Act either by the end of the year or early in January. “We’re after the election now, so I feel like we ought to put it out there this year. Go ahead and vote on it,” he said, “so that more Americans can’t get persecuted.” “I think with the trifecta, we should be able to pass it,” the Texas lawmaker continued. “We should bring it forward. But look, Republicans are going to have to get the nerve to actually stand up for both free speech and life.” At least 14 pro-lifers have been convicted under the FACE Act for peacefully protesting outside abortion clinics during the Biden-Harris administration. One of these pro-life activists is Paulette Harlow, a 75-year-old woman with chronic health conditions, who was sentenced to 24 months in prison for attempting to dissuade women from getting abortions. Another is 89-year-old Eva Edl, who survived a World War II-era death camp before escaping to the United States.  “I think we should repeal it so it can’t be abused,” Roy said. Some of the convicted pro-life activists are represented by the Thomas More Society, a Chicago-based conservative public interest law firm. The firm’s general counsel, Andrew Bath, said the law has been “egregiously abused” and “weaponized.” Bath said if Congress repeals the FACE Act, it is likely the Trump DOJ would dismiss all the open cases against pro-lifers. President-elect Donald Trump would have a strong reason to pardon the already convicted pro-lifers. “On its face, you would look at it and say that it protects abortion clinics and pregnancy resource centers and churches equally,” Bath told The Daily Signal. “But it hasn’t been used that way. It’s been applied almost exclusively against pro-lifers, and it’s been weaponized, and this weapon has to be removed from the arsenal of those who are willing to abuse government power.” The post Texas Lawmaker Urges GOP to ‘Get the Nerve’ to Repeal Law That Biden Weaponized Against Pro-Lifers appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Jose Antonio Ibarra has been found guilty of murdering Georgia nursing student Laken Riley.   Ibarra, 26, is an illegal alien from Venezuela. He waived his right to a jury, leaving his fate in the hands of the judge.   On Wednesday morning, Superior Court Judge H. Patrick Haggard found Ibarra guilty on all 10 counts.   On the morning of Feb. 22, Riley left her home and went for a run along a wooded trail on the Athens campus of her alma mater, the University of Georgia, but never returned. The body of the Augusta University nursing student was found hours later, and authorities determined she had died from blunt force trauma and suffocation.    “On Feb. 22, Jose Ibarra put on a black hat, a hoodie-style jacket, and some black, kitchen-style disposable gloves and he went hunting for females on the University of Georgia’s campus,” prosecuting attorney Sheila Ross said in her opening statement. “And in his hunt, he encountered 22-year-old Laken Riley on her morning jog. And when Laken Riley refused to be his rape victim, he bashed her skull in with a rock repeatedly.” Ibarra, 26, first crossed into America as an illegal immigrant in 2022, according to officials. Ibarra was arrested last year in New York on charges of child endangerment, but was released before U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement could ask local law enforcement to hold him.   Ross, representing the state of Georgia, said Ibarra’s DNA was found under Riley’s fingernails and one of his fingerprints was found on her iPhone.   This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
