This series should be read in order.

"There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark's Eve." Neeve said. "Either you're his true love... or you killed him."

Having grown up in a household of psychics, hearing predictions and witnessing the unexplainable are familiar experiences for Blue. However, when predictions link her fate to that of a boy named Gansey, at the prestigious Aglionby private school, she is drawn into his singular and dangerous quest.

Gansey is more than he appears on the surface, as are the other Aglionby students - Raven Boys - he has befriended: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little. Their differing personalities and perspectives sit uneasily within a circle of genuine friendship, and a desire to solve a sinister mystery.
