Clues Suggest ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ Book 6 Arriving Soon
The anticipation for the sixth book of the acclaimed series A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) by Sarah J. Maas is reaching a fever pitch. After the release of the fifth installment, A Court of Silver Flames, in February 2021, fans are eager to return to the enchanting world of Prythian. Recent hints suggest that an official announcement regarding ACOTAR 6 may be forthcoming.
Recent Clues Indicating ACOTAR 6 Announcement
Several clues have surfaced online, notably related to Maas’s potential appearance on the popular podcast Call Her Daddy. On March 2, Alex Cooper, the podcast’s host, shared a teaser video for an episode set to air on March 4. In the video, Cooper expressed difficulty in teasing her notable guest, hinting at excitement within the literary community. Observant fans noted multiple Maas titles present in the video, indicating her importance in the fantasy genre.
Release Date Speculations
As of now, ACOTAR 6 does not have an official release date. Fans discovered a listing on Barnes & Noble for a currently untitled sixth installment projected for release in January 2029. However, many believe this date is merely a placeholder.
Sarah J. Maas typically alternates between her major series. Her latest release, House of Flame and Shadow, from her Crescent City series debuted in January 2024. Maas has indicated that ACOTAR 6 will be her next project. In a January interview, she expressed enthusiasm about continuing the series, making a 2026 release seem likely given her past publishing patterns.
Title Theories for ACOTAR 6
The title for the sixth book has not yet been confirmed. Speculation arose in October 2024 when a title, A Court of Shaded Truths, circulated online. However, it was later identified as a fan edit, leading to uncertainty regarding the correct title.
Plot Expectations for ACOTAR 6
The ACOTAR series has traditionally centered around prominent characters from Feyre to Nesta. The concluding book, A Court of Silver Flames, highlighted Nesta’s journey. The sixth installment is anticipated to follow Elain, the remaining Archeron sister, as fans theorize her potential relationships with Lucien or Azriel.
Popular Theories Surrounding ACOTAR 6
- Elain may reject the mating bond with Lucien.
- Azriel’s potential romantic involvement with Gwyn could be explored.
- There is speculation that Elain might become the High Lady of the Spring Court.
- Elain’s seer abilities may be fully unveiled.

The Reasons Behind the Delay
Maas has addressed the slower release schedule in recent years, focusing on her experience balancing writing with motherhood. She noted her previous ability to produce two books a year has shifted, indicating the challenges of maintaining her writing pace while fulfilling family obligations.
Although Bloomsbury Publishing and Maas’s team remain quiet about exact timelines, the eventual release of ACOTAR 6 promises to be a significant event in fantasy literature, captivating both long-time fans and newcomers alike.
