The Raven Boys are made up of our main four boys: Gansey, Adam, Noah, and Ronan. They are from the elite all-boys school called, Aglionby Academy, all who are so very different from one another. They are in search of something that makes them cross paths with our main character Blue. A daughter of a psychic within a family of them, she is the only one not gifted with sight per say, but rather the ability to amplify others' gifts. 

What could possibly bring these teens together and what could Gansey be so desperately seeking that he drags this unlikely group into a quest for something long thought lost to time. Not to mention all the secrets that each is keeping to themselves. Join the raven boys and Blue in their quest for a Welsh myth to come to life.
