Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue never sees them--until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks to her. His name is Gansey, a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble. But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can't entirely explain.

All her life, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love's death. She doesn't believe in true love and never thought this would be a problem, but as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she's not so sure anymore.

If you could steal things from dreams, what would you take? Ronan Lynch has secrets. Some he keeps from others. Some he keeps from himself. One secret: Ronan can bring things out of his dreams. And sometimes he's not the only one who wants those things. Ronan is one of the raven boys - a group of friends, practically brothers, searching for a dead king named Glendower, who they think is hidden somewhere in the hills by their elite private school, Aglionby Academy. The path to Glendower has long lived as an undercurrent beneath town.

Blue Sargent has found things. For the first time in her life, she has friends she can trust, a group to which she can belong. The Raven Boys have taken her in as one of their own. Their problems have become hers, and her problems have become theirs. The trick with found things, though, is how easily they can be lost. Friends can betray. Mothers can disappear. Visions can mislead. Certainties can unravel.

Ronan Lynch is a dreamer. He can pull both curiosities and catastrophes out of his dreams and into his compromised reality. Jordan Hennessy is a thief. The closer she comes to the dream object she is after, the more inextricably she becomes tied to it. Carmen Farooq-Lane is a hunter. Her brother was a dreamer...and a killer. She has seen what dreaming can do to a person. And she has seen the damage that dreamers can do. But that is nothing compared to the destruction that is about to be unleashed....

In the world of Erdas, only a rare few are able to summon a spirit animal in the way Conor, Abeke, Meilin, and Rollan have. The bond they share with their animals is a partnership that allows them to access more-than-human abilities. But what if there was another way to create a spirit animal--to force the bond, giving the human partner total control? And what if someone with selfish intensions was offered this gift . . . with a catch?

Something is happening to the source of the dreamers' power. It is blocked. Diminished. Weak. If it goes away entirely, what will happen to the dreamers and those who depend on them? Ronan Lynch isn't planning to wait and find out. Backed by his mentor, Bryde, he is ready to do what needs to be done to save the dreamers and the dreamed...even if it takes him far from his family and the boy he loves.

In Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. Now, in Linger, they must fight to be together. Add to the mix a new wolf named Cole, and Isabelle, who already lost her brother to the wolves.

Il primo romanzo della saga di The Raven Cycle. Agli studenti della Aglionby Academy, conosciuti come Ragazzi Corvo, non manca nulla: soldi, bellezza, macchine costose. Gansey, però, è in cerca di qualcosa di più: Owen Glendower, un antico re gallese che, secondo le leggende, giace addormentato sotto una montagna. Nella sua ricerca è affiancato da Adam, che frequenta la scuola con una borsa di studio ed è pieno di risentimento verso l'ambiente privilegiato che lo circonda; da Ronan, un'anima selvaggia divisa tra rabbia e disperazione; e da Noah, tanto attento a cogliere i dettagli quanto taciturno.

The war between dreams and reality intensifies... with Ronan at its center.

Some race to win. Others race to survive. It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some riders live. Others die. At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them. Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn't given her much of a choice. So she enters the competition-the first girl ever to do so.

Mit jedem Tag, den Blue mit Gansey verbringt, fällt es ihr schwerer, sich nicht in ihn zu verlieben – obwohl sie weiß, dass ein Kuss von ihr der Grund für seinen nahen Tod sein könnte. Sie ist fasziniert von seiner leidenschaftlichen Suche nach dem verschwundenen König Glendower, und in der knisternden Hitze des Sommers kommen Blue, Gansey und die Raven Boys diesem Ziel immer näher. Vor allem Ronans Fähigkeit, Gegenstände aus seinen Träumen in die reale Welt zu bringen, lässt die Lösung greifbar werden.

Es wird Hebst in Henrietta. Blue und die vier Raven Boys suchen noch immer nach dem Grab des walisischen Königs Glendower. Fast glauben sie sich am Ziel, als Adam eine beunruhigende Vision hat: Im magischen Wald Cabeswater gibt es drei Schlafende. Einer von ihnen darf unter gar keinen Umständen geweckt werden. Die Frage ist allerdings, welcher es ist und was geschieht, wenn er trotz aller Vorsicht aufwachen sollte. Währenddessen hat Blue ganz andere Sorgen: Ihre Mutter ist verschwunden und außer einer mysteriösen Nachricht gibt es keine Spur von ihr.
