The Gaill
The Gaill is an enemies to lovers speculative romance perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses, Crescent City and The Hunger Games series.
For three hundred years, the kingdom of Calderone has survived inside the walls built after the Nuclear War of 2060. Eighteen-year-old Jacqueline Livingston knows that her true identity as heir to the throne is only one of her kingdom’s secrets. Then, on the night before she’s to be revealed as heir, she is kidnapped during a raid by the Gaill—the kingdom’s mortal enemy. No one knows who she is, and Jacqueline assumes the role of a servant in the palace of the merciless Gaill prince Daxinius.
While plotting her escape, she befriends a group of tattoo-covered servants and learns that the Gaill, far from being traitors, were banished from Calderone for speaking out against the dark secret to the kingdom’s prosperity. And Daxinius is perhaps not so merciless after all.
Jacqueline’s people are in certain danger, but it seems the true threat may not come from the Gaill but from inside the kingdom's walls. She’ll have to risk everything—including her own heart—to save the kingdom she is destined to rule.
The series
Long after the world broke apart, behind towering walls and ancient lies, a girl destined to rule is stolen into the arms of her kingdom’s sworn enemy.
Read full series description
The Gaill Series unfolds in a fractured future where the remnants of humanity live divided by survival and silence. Jacqueline Livingston, heir to the fortified kingdom of Calderone, has been raised in luxury but never in truth. On the night her legacy is meant to be sealed, a raid changes everything—she’s taken by the Gaill, the very people her kingdom has taught her to fear. But captivity doesn’t bring the brutality she expects. Instead, it brings questions. Dangerous ones.
Set in a post-nuclear world simmering with political tension, forbidden romance, and the ghosts of war, this dystopian fantasy draws readers into a slow-burning exploration of identity, rebellion, and the blurred lines between loyalty and betrayal. Jacqueline’s journey—told with haunting intimacy and deliberate tension—pulls back the veil on a civilization built on stories that may not survive the truth.
Balancing lush world-building with emotional stakes that linger, this series is perfect for readers drawn to strong heroines who grow fiercer as their illusions fall away. As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, nothing stays simple for long—and that’s where this story thrives.
Looking for a dystopian romance that doesn’t flinch from the dark but still aches with hope? This might just be the series waiting for you.
