Sarah J. Maas ACOTAR 6: Release Date, What We Know

The long-awaited return to Prythian is getting closer.

Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses series will continue with ACOTAR 6 on October 27, 2026, followed by ACOTAR 7 on January 12, 2027. Bloomsbury has confirmed both publication dates, with the sixth book already available for preorder.

The news is particularly significant for fans because the series has spent years building anticipation around what comes next after A Court of Silver Flames.

Two New ACOTAR Books Are Coming

Maas’s official website lists the two upcoming novels as the next books in the series:

A Court of Thorns and Roses 6 — October 27, 2026 _ Preorder Now
A Court of Thorns and Roses 7 — January 12, 2027 _ Preorder Now

The publisher describes the new installments as a return to the courts of Prythian, promising more romance, danger and intrigue.

Why Fans Are Watching ACOTAR 6 So Closely

The first five books have turned ACOTAR into one of the biggest romantasy franchises in publishing. Bloomsbury describes the series as a global bestseller and a #BookTok favorite, with millions of copies sold worldwide.

That means almost every new piece of information about the next installment has the potential to generate enormous discussion among fantasy-romance readers.

There is also plenty of speculation among fans about which characters will take center stage, but we should keep speculation clearly separated from confirmed information in our article.
