Happy A Court of Splintered Harmony Day to all who celebrate! The sixth book in Sarah J. Maas’s ACOTAR series has hit our bookshelves today, five years after the most recent novel was published.

The new novel will see the Night Court attempt to bring together the various factions of Prythian, which are still hurting after the war. They must gather their strength and build alliances if the kingdom is going to survive Koschei the Deathless. Though the death god has been confined to a lake for millennia, his power is growing and it’s attracting those who wish to gain what they believe was once theirs—the human lands. ACOSH is the first in three new novels, which are part of a new arc called The Valkyrie Cycle, and ACOSH will cover Movement I in this cycle.

Readers have had a long time to wait for the new novel to be released, and in that time, you may have noticed many fans of the novels have spent a lot of time theorizing about what could happen in the new books.…
