About this Event
The gates to Prythian are open.
For one magical evening, leave the human lands behind and journey to Prythian, as we celebrate the release of the newest installment in Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses series.
Wander through the Velaris Night Market, sip cocktails inspired by the magic, discover treasures crafted by local artisans, have your cards read, and celebrate alongside fellow members of different Courts. Whether you've loved ACOTAR since the beginning or are just finding your place among the courts, this is a night designed for dreamers, romantics, and those who know that there is no better place than the MaasVerse.
📚 Fred & June's Books will be on-site distributing all pre-ordered books during the event, so you'll be among the first to get your hands on the newest ACOTAR release while celebrating with fellow readers in Velaris.
