A note for parents

Call Down the Hawk is a contemporary paranormal fantasy with dark, tense themes centered on dreamers who can pull objects and creatures into reality, creating potential for harm. The book features moderate violence, some profanity, and emotional intensity around trauma and danger, making it better suited for mid-to-older teens than younger readers. While it offers complex characters and explores themes of power and choice, the mysterious and sometimes disturbing supernatural elements and character complexity demand maturity from readers.

From the publisher

The dreamers walk among us...and so do the dreamed. Those who dream cannot stop dreaming--they can only try to control it. Those who are dreamed cannot have their own lives--they will sleep forever if their dreamers die. And then there are those who are drawn to the dreamers. To use them. To trap them. To kill them... The dreamers walk among us...and so do the dreamed. Those who dream cannot stop dreaming--they can only try to control it. Those who are dreamed cannot have their own lives--they will sleep forever if their dreamers die. And then there are those who are drawn to the dreamers. To use them. To trap them. To kill them before their dreams destroy us all. 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... This description comes from the publisher. Call Down the Hawk is the first book in the Dreamers Trilogy; this is the sequel series to the Raven Boys series, the first of which is The Raven Boys.
