About this listen

From the Sunday Times best-selling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and A Darker Shade of Magic comes a stand-alone novel where The Secret Garden meets Stardust.

Sixteen-year-old Olivia Prior is missing three things: a mother, a father and a voice. Her mother vanished all at once, her father by degrees and her voice was a thing she never had to start with.

She grew up at Merilance School for Girls. Now, nearing the end of her time there, Olivia receives a letter from an uncle she’s never met, her father’s older brother, summoning her to his estate, a place called Gallant. But when she arrives, she discovers that the letter she received was several years old. Her uncle is dead. The estate is empty save for the servants. Olivia is permitted to remain, but must follow two rules: don’t go out after dusk and always stay on the right side of a wall that runs along the estate’s western edge. Beyond it is another realm, ancient and magical, which calls to Olivia through her blood.

Critic Reviews

"A haunting and beautifully tilled garden of darkness, Gallant unearths the shadows - webs of family history, the price of deadly bargains, and the secrets we guard - a triumphant tale that can’t be missed." (Dhonielle Clayton, best-selling author)

Hauntingly Beautiful

Dark, bittersweet and an archingly haunting story of loss and love, sagaciously delivered an excellent narrator.

What a beautiful, poignant story!

What a beautiful, poignant story! It made me cry in the end.

Everything is so stunningly described, the house, the garden, the ghouls, even the journals, that you wish you could stretch your hand and touch it. Olivia is smart, talented, brave, and resilient. I found myself rooting for her.
Certain parts of the story, especially the part about the Master of the house and his shadows, felt confusing to me. They either made me halt listening to the audio or even rewind to listen again. But I eventually went with the flow, mesmerized by the words and how the story unfolded.

This book deserves the praise it is receiving.
