In Gallant, New York Times-bestselling author V. E. Schwab crafts a vivid and lush novel that grapples with the demons that are often locked behind closed doors. An eerie, stand-alone saga about life, death, and the young woman beckoned by both. Raised in the Merilance School for girls, all Olivia Prior has of her past is her mother's journal, whose entries unravel into madness. When she arrives at Gallant after receiving a mysterious letter, no one is expecting her; even so, it feels like home, despite her hostile cousin Matthew and the half-formed ghouls in the hallways. Olivia is determined to unveil Gallant's secrets, and when she crosses a ruined wall at the right moment, she finds herself in a place that is Gallant--but not. The manor is crumbling, the ghouls are solid, and a mysterious figure rules over all...
Victoria "V. E." Schwab is the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of more than twenty books, including the acclaimed Shades of Magic series, the Villains series, the Cassidy Blake series and the international bestseller The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. Their work has received critical acclaim, been translated into over two dozen languages, and has been optioned for television and film. First Kill - a YA vampire series based on Schwab's short story of the same name - is currently in the works at Netflix with Emma Roberts' Belletrist Productions producing. When not haunting Paris streets or trudging up English hillsides, they live in Edinburgh, Scotland, and are usually tucked in the corner of a coffee shop, dreaming up monsters.
