Wen der Rabe ruft

The first volume of the popular Raven Boys series by international bestselling author Maggie Stiefvater. Every year, Blue Sargent stands beside her clairvoyant mother as the spirits of those who will die in the coming year pass by. Blue herself never sees them—until this year, when a boy emerges from the darkness and speaks to her. His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a "Raven Boy"—a wealthy student from Aglionby, the local private school. Blue usually keeps her distance from Aglionby, as Raven Boys mean nothing but trouble. And Gansey is not alone: together with Adam, the scholarship student who resents the privileges around him; Ronan, whose emotions range from anger to despair; and Noah, the silent observer who notices much but says little, he is on a secret quest. As long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will bring about the death of her true love. She never thought she would fall in love. But now, as she becomes entangled in the mysterious world of the Raven Boys, she is no longer so sure. With her distinctive writing style, Maggie Stiefvater beautifully captures the atmosphere of the magical forests, the complex characters, and their multifaceted relationships in this fantasy series.
