Maggie Stiefvater To Release 'Bravely', A Story Set In Disney Pixar's 'Brave' World

If you are both a fan of Maggie Stiefvater's magical stories and poetic writing, and of Disney Pixar's wild Scottish-inspired adventure (Brave) then the upcoming novel called Bavely by Maggie Stiefvater is the best fit for you. Set in the same world of DunBroch, the novel is a standalone story, which does not require you to watch the said movie.

The official cover of Bravely by Maggie Stiefvater has been revealed, which features Merida, the same red-haired main character we love. The only thing I'd miss in this novel is her accent (thanks to Kelly Macdonald's iconic voice), which is one of the things I loved about the movie!

Check out the official cover of Bravely by Maggie Stiefvater.

Synopsis

What if you had one year to save everything you loved?

One princess. Merida of DunBroch needs a change. She loves her family―jovial King Fergus, proper Queen Elinor, the mischievous triplets― and her peaceful kingdom. But she’s frustrated by its sluggishness; each day, the same. Merida longs for adventure, purpose, challenge – maybe even, someday, love.

Two gods. But the fiery Princess never expects her disquiet to manifest by way of Feradach, an uncanny supernatural being tasked with rooting out rot and stagnation, who appears in DunBroch on Christmas Eve with the intent to demolish the realm – and everyone within. Only the intervention of the Cailleach, an ancient entity of creation, gives Merida a shred of hope: convince her family to change within the year – or suffer the eternal consequences.

Three voyages. Under the watchful eyes of the gods, Merida leads a series of epic journeys to kingdoms near and far in an attempt to inspire revolution within her family. But in her efforts to save those she loves from ruin, has Merida lost sight of the Clan member grown most stagnant of all – herself?

Four seasons to save Dunbroch – or see it destroyed, forrver.

Bravely by Maggie Stiefvater will be released on May 3, 2022.
