The world of Prythian expands again. Bestselling romantasy author Sarah J. Maas has confirmed two new novels in her blockbuster ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ series. The sixth installment arrives Oct. 27, 2026, followed closely by book seven on Jan. 12, 2027. The announcement came during Maas’ appearance on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, sending a surge of excitement through the global reading community.
Maas framed the upcoming releases as part of a much larger narrative arc. “The story that was finally ready to come out of me was big, really, really, really big,” she said. The author explained that the unfolding saga is structured as a sweeping four-part story told across multiple books.
Writing the new material unlocked momentum quickly. “It came out of me in a way that surprised me,” Maas said, noting the scale of the manuscript that emerged during the early drafting process. The first portion alone grew to hundreds of pages before the full scope of the narrative took shape.
The ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ universe has grown into one of modern fantasy publishing’s defining series. More than 70 million copies of Maas’ books have sold worldwide, with the ACOTAR saga helping ignite the massive rise of romantasy and the #BookTok reading phenomenon.
The upcoming novels continue that trajectory with a tightly connected story designed to unfold across multiple installments. Early reactions across the book world have been electric, with readers and retailers already buzzing about the scale of the next chapter in Maas’ fantasy empire.
