Where to start

New to the series? Begin with A Court of Thorns and Roses. It is a publication-order series, so book order is simply the order they were written, and the first book is the front door.

Every fandom has an origin story, and for modern romantasy this is it. A mortal huntress, a debt owed to the Fae, and a curse dressed up as a fairy tale: what begins as a retelling sheds its skin book by book until you are deep in court politics, war councils, and the kind of bargains that cost more than they seem. The wall between the human lands and Prythian is the least of the borders this series crosses.

What is still coming

The series is not finished. Still ahead: ACOTAR 6 (Oct 27, 2026 preorder), ACOTAR 7 (Jan 12, 2027 preorder). Preorders lock in the current price and arrive on release day.

Reading versus listening

The whole series is available on Audible, and book one is a classic first pick for a trial credit: you get the full descent from cottage to court in one narrator's voice, and if the bargain takes hold you will know by chapter five. With the October release on the horizon, an audio reread of the early books is the fandom's favorite way to count down.
