Maas’s newest ACOTAR installment, we’re welcoming Rachel Reid deluxe limited editions perfect for gifting, a dark romance from Sloane St. James, and seasonal stories to carry you from autumn into the holidays.

A Court of Splintered Harmony — Sarah J. Maas

The sixth ACOTAR book returns us to a fractured Prythian as Koschei’s growing influence threatens the Fae territories and human lands. With the Night Court divided by betrayals and painful revelations, its defenders must rebuild their alliances before an ancient enemy tears everything apart. Your return ticket to Prythian has arrived.

The Keeper — Ana Huang

Grumpy goalkeeper and single dad Noah Wilson needs a nanny, and Carina Vu needs a job to rebuild her savings. She’s wonderful with his daughter—and far too good at getting beneath his guarded exterior. Single-dad romance meets forced proximity in the final Gods of the Game installment. This deluxe edition is perfect for gift giving! 

Of Karma and Corridors — Sloane St. James

When Anna visits tattoo artist Casper for a cover-up, the scars on her back spark a curiosity that quickly becomes obsession. A hidden corridor inside her home lets him watch her unseen, while their time in his studio awakens feelings she thought she’d lost. A dark stalker romance for readers drawn to dangerous secrets and morally gray characters. This deluxe edition is one of our hottest preorder campaigns - plus there are indie exclusives!

The Long Game (Deluxe Limited Edition) — Rachel Reid

Shane and Ilya’s story continues as a decade of secrecy forces them to confront what their future can look like. Shane fears what going public could cost, while Ilya wants a life they can share openly. Read Heated Rivalry first, then return for this emotional next chapter.
