"For more than 25 years, Nicholas Sparks has been reminding us that love - in all its messiness and magic - endures. In fact, when you think of him, you probably think of heartrending stories that reduce you to a teary puddle, like The Notebook or Nights in Rodanthe. But the beloved author's next project takes his signature emotional storytelling into new territory alongside acclaimed filmmaker and master of suspense M. Night Shyamalan."
"Sparks' 26th novel, Remain, follows New York architect Tate Donovan, who arrives in Cape Cod to design his best friend's summer home and start a new chapter after the devastating loss of his sister, Sylvia. Still reeling from her passing (and the supernatural revelation she made from her deathbed), Tate finds himself questioning everything, especially when he forms an intense connection with a beautiful woman named Wren."
"There were a couple of things that really clicked ... I think there was a certain peer-to-peer respect. We've both been around for 30 years. We're both in good places in our lives. Neither one of us needed this collaboration; neither one of us were trying to do anything. So we approached it from a very healthy, "Hey, this might be interesting and fun. And I wonder if we can." And so, that was part of it."
Nicholas Sparks and M. Night Shyamalan collaborated on a supernatural romantic thriller that interrogates grief, mystery, and whether love can transcend life and death. The 26th novel, Remain, follows New York architect Tate Donovan, who travels to Cape Cod to design his best friend's summer home after the devastating loss of his sister Sylvia and a deathbed supernatural revelation. Tate grapples with grief and newfound uncertainties while forming an intense connection with a woman named Wren. The novel releases Oct. 14 and precedes a 2026 film adaptation directed by Shyamalan and starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Phoebe Dynevor. The collaborators approached the project from mutual respect and creative curiosity.
