About Gallant Step into the gloriously gothic world of Gallant by #1 New York Times–bestselling author V.E. Schwab, a dark and original stand-alone novel perfect for readers who lo ve the atmospheric mystery of The Secret Garden meets the chilling allure of Crimson Peak. This compelling dark fantasy invites you to a place where the world meets its shadow, and the boundaries between realms are dangerously thin. The story follows fourteen-year-old Olivia Prior, an orphan who has always felt like an outsider, missing her parents and her own voice. Her life at Merilance School for Girls takes an unexpected turn when she receives a mysterious letter from an uncle she never knew, summoning her to his ancestral estate, Gallant. Upon her arrival, Olivia discovers the letter is years old, her uncle is deceased, and the sprawling manor is eerily empty save for the silent servants. Permitted to stay, she must abide by two strict rules: never venture out after dusk, and always remain on the right side of a crumbling wall that skirts the estate's western edge. Beyond this wall lies another realm, ancient and magical, a shadowy reflection of Gallant that calls to Olivia through her very blood, promising both danger and a sense of belonging she's never known. As Olivia uncovers the estate's secrets and the truth about her family, she must confront the seductive lure of the world beyond the wall. Key Details Author: V.E.
