About this Event
THE GRAND FAE BALL
An ACOTAR Book 7 Midnight Release Celebration
Seven Courts. One Grand Ball. A Night Worthy of Prythian.
The gates to Prythian are opening once again, and you are cordially invited to an extraordinary evening of magic, music, and celebration.
Join Not Your Average Book Club on Monday, January 11th, 2027, as we transform The Duce in Downtown Phoenix into The Grand Fae Ball, an extravagant, immersive celebration honoring all seven courts of Prythian and the highly anticipated release of the seventh book in Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses series.
Whether your allegiance lies with the Night Court, the Spring Court, or somewhere in between, this is your invitation to dress like the fae, dance like you're in Velaris, and celebrate alongside hundreds of fellow ACOTAR lovers.
And trust us, this is no ordinary ball.
