Chloe Maggie Stiefvater stated on her blog: "It is the first book in a standalone trilogy set in the world of the Raven Cycle. It follows the events of The Raven King and follows the adventures of the Lynch family. You don’t have to have read the Raven Cycle for it to make sense, though I tend to think the world is a better place if you have read TRC anyway, preferably in hardcover ordered from your local independent book merchant."

So no, you don't have to, but I would highly recommend it!
