Call Down the Hawk
by Maggie Stiefvater
Book 1 in Dreamer Trilogy
Call Down the Hawk is not romance, but Raven Cycle readers bring it into the MoodReads orbit because Ronan, Adam, dream magic, and impossible longing are already part of the shelf. Read it for art thieves, dreamers, and a darker magical world that feels half gorgeous and half dangerous.
