Todo el mundo tiene secretos. Los guardamos o nos los guardan, los controlamos o escapan a nuestro control. Ronan Lynch también. El gran secreto de Ronan es que puede coger cosas de los sueños y traerlas al mundo real. Lo malo es que hay alguien mas que desea esas mismas cosas. Alguien cuyas intenciones son mas siniestras. Y mientras tanto, las lineas ley que rodean Cabeswater se estan debilitando. Glendower es un sueño cada vez mas lejano, y Gansey no esta dispuesto a permanecer indiferente.

Cada año, la noche de San Marcos, Blue Sargent acompaña a su madre al camino de los espíritus para ver a los que morirán en los siguientes doce meses. Sin embargo, este año es distinto: Blue, la única de su familia que no tiene facultades adivinatorias, ha visto a uno de estos espiritus, y eso solo puede significar que es su amor verdadero o que lo va a matar. El se llama Gansey y es el estudiante mas rico del colegio privado mas elitista de la zona, la Academia Aglionby, cuyo emblema es un cuervo que todos los estudiantes llevan bordado en el jersey. Junto a Adam, un estudiante brillante, celoso del poder economico de sus compañeros; Ronan, un chico con problemas emocionales desde la muerte de su padre, y Noah, el observador taciturno que apenas habla, forman los chicos del cuervo, y estan empeñados en descubrir la ubicacion de la tumba del ultimo rey gales, Glendower, el Rey Cuervo. Blue sabe que debe mantenerse alejada de ellos, porque los chicos del cuervo siempre traen problemas. Aunque nunca podria imaginarse el siniestro y oscuro mundo que los rodea, donde la magia dejara de ser un juego para convertirse en una amenaza mortal.

Blue Sargent ha encontrado muchas cosas. Por primera vez en su vida, tiene amigos en los que puede confiar, un grupo del que siente que forma parte. Los chicos del cuervo la han aceptado sin reservas; los problemas de ellos se han convertido en los problemas de Blue, y al contrario. Pero hay algo malo en encontrar cosas: el daño que hace perderlas, y lo facil que es que se desvanezcan. Asi que Blue y los chicos siguen buscando. Mientras la idea de Glendower se cierne sobre ellos, cada vez mas posible y cercana, los chicos del cuervo se enfrentan a la existencia de tres durmientes. A uno deben despertarlo. A otro deben no despertarlo. El tercero no importa. Entre viejas amistades que se deforman hasta convertirse en otras cosas y nuevas amistades de final profetizado; entre madres desaparecidas, cuevas malditas, doncellas delirantes, heroes asesinos y villanos de opereta, Blue continua su busqueda. Lo que no sabe es que busca, exactamente. Pero eso no importa: aunque ella se equivoque, hay algo que la espera al final. Algo inevitable. Algo que podria destrozarla... o hacerla feliz.

Gansey lleva años buscando un rey perdido. Y, una a una, va atrayendo a otras personas hacia su empeño: Ronan, que desvalija sueños; Adam, cuya vida ya no le pertenece; Noah, cuya vida ya no es vida; Blue, que lo ama... y sabe que esta destinada a matarlo. Nada muerto es fiable. El juego final ya ha comenzado. Nada vivo es seguro. Los sueños y las pesadillas empiezan a converger. El amor y la perdida son inseparables. Y la busqueda rehusa confinarse a un sendero fijo...
