Shiver is the first of three books in the Trilogy written by Maggie Stiefvater. The books are about a dark-blonde-haired and brown-eyed girl called Grace who has always watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed grey-furred wolf — her wolf — has a chilling presence and she cannot seem to live without him since an attack by the wolves six years ago, This caused wolf and girl to meet. Since the incident, a connection between the two has grown every winter: when the wolf comes to watch Grace as she reads or does homework in her yard, she watches him back. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, inside frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl, the girl he saved, the one who would change him in the near future. In summer, he gains a few precious months of being human, gains the opportunity to talk to the girl he saved, but does not have the courage to do so until the cold makes him shift back again. However, incidents like being shot and cared for by Grace change a lot. Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. Is it her wolf? It has to be. Since he was shot and suddenly shifted, Grace hides Sam in her house and eventually love comes, and Sam becomes Grace's boyfriend. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human — or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.
