About this Event
Step into Velaris for one enchanted night as we celebrate the newest installment in the beloved A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas.
For this special midnight release, we’re transforming the store into the City of Starlight for a Velaris-inspired Starfall celebration. Join fellow romantasy readers for a true readers celebration and after-hours gathering filled with themed treats, glowing lights, and a countdown to midnight.
✨ Your standard ticket includes:
• A copy of A Court of Splintered Harmony book (guaranteed with ticket purchase)
• Entry to our Velaris Starfall release party
• Themed drinks and treats
• ACOTAR-inspired swag bag
• Fandom games, trivia, & raffle prizes

✨ Exclusive ACOTAR Release Merch
We’ll be debuting a special ACOTAR release collection created just for this launch — and party guests will have first access to shop it before it’s available to the public. Think limited-edition bookish goods inspired by Velaris and the Night Court, available in limited quantities. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

A 10% store discount will be available to all ticket holders during the event.
Costumes are highly encouraged — think flowing gowns, starry crowns, Illyrian wings, and High Lord energy.
