The Raven Boys
Book 1 of the The Raven Cycle series
Blue Sargent has been warned that she will cause her true love to die, a prediction complicated by her encounter with Gansey and his friends from an elite school. Their search for a sleeping Welsh king leads through ley lines, psychic visions, family secrets, and a Virginia landscape alive with hidden power. Friendship becomes the emotional center of a mystery none of them fully understands. Dreamlike and character-rich, this fantasy mystery suits a humid summer night for readers who enjoy found family, old legends, private-school intrigue, and slow-building supernatural danger.
