Blue Sargent is the only non-psychic in a family of clairvoyants, amplifying others' gifts while having none of her own — and she has been warned since childhood that she will cause her true love's death with a kiss. When she encounters the spirit of Gansey, a wealthy Aglionby Academy student, on St. Mark's Eve — a night reserved for the dying — she is pulled into his obsessive quest to find the tomb of the sleeping Welsh king Owain Glendower along a Virginia ley line, alongside three other 'raven boys': the resentful scholarship student Adam, the volatile and grief-stricken Ronan, and the quiet, watchful Noah. Magic, class conflict, and a dawning prophecy begin to converge around all five of them.
