Remain is a #1 New York Times bestselling supernatural love story co-authored by Nicholas Sparks, the globally bestselling author of The Notebook, and M. Night Shyamalan, the renowned writer and director of The Sixth Sense. Published by Penguin Random House on October 14, 2025, this 352-page hardcover novel marks an unprecedented collaboration between two celebrated storytellers working at the intersection of romance and the supernatural.

When New York architect Tate Donovan arrives on Cape Cod to design his best friend's summer home, he is hoping to make a fresh start following the loss of his beloved sister. Her deathbed revelation—that she could see spirits still tethered to the living world, a gift that runs in their family—sits uneasily with Tate, who relies on logic and reason. At a historic bed-and-breakfast on the Cape, he encounters a beautiful young woman named Wren who challenges every assumption he holds about the world. As Tate and Wren forge a powerful connection unlike anything either has felt before, he uncovers that beneath the surface of Wren's idyllic small-town life, hatred, jealousy, and greed are festering. He must unearth the truth about her past before time runs out.

The novel asks: can love set us free not only from our greatest sorrows, but even from the boundaries of life and death? Set against the natural beauty of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Remain is also being adapted into a major motion picture directed by M. Night Shyamalan and starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Phoebe Dynevor. The book is available in hardcover, large print, ebook, and audiobook formats, with a paperback edition forthcoming in May 2026.
