If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you probably know that Victoria Schwab is one of my favorite authors, so I was delighted to get one of the early ARCs for this new book! And outside in the garden stands a crumbling wall, which houses a door made of iron, and Olivia cannot help feeling something is calling her from the other side. When she arrives, though, she finds a haunted place. ![]() Then, one day, she learns that she might not be alone in this world after all her uncle is looking for her, and invites her home to a place called Gallant.

In Gallant, Olivia Prior has lived at Merilance School for Independent Girls for years, but she has never been at home there. ![]()
