Sarah J. Maas is a brilliant author in the fantasy genre, and her young adult and new adult series have taken the literary world by storm. With each new book, her status as one of the most influential authors keeps solidifying!
If you’ve read all her books, you’d be looking forward to her future releases and would be keen to know if the author is working on new books or has already announced her next. In this article, we will look at upcoming Sarah J. Maas books that have either been announced or the author has revealed she’s got plans for!
The good news is that Sarah J. Maas has already revealed that several new books are coming. You can expect fresh installments from her most popular series, plus a completely new series that’s still under wraps.
The bad news is that we don’t exactly have a release date for any of her books because she’s still busy with them!
Her latest release was in 2024; House of Flame and Shadow, the third book in the Crescent City series, was released last year. So, it’s not like the author is taking too long to publish a new book. However, the author confirmed earlier that after she’s done with Crescent City’s third book, her next book will be set in the ACOTAR universe!
So, let’s go through all the books the author has announced or has in the pipeline, and get excited about what fans can expect to read in the coming years!
All Upcoming Sarah J. Maas Books:
1. A Court Of Thorns And Roses Book 6
Sarah J. Maas has already confirmed that her next book will be set in the A Court Of Thorns And Roses universe!
The author hasn’t revealed much information about the sixth ACOTAR book, but she’s said that she’s very, very excited about it. When it comes to the book’s plot, she’s told that she knows exactly what she will be writing in this book, but until we get a confirmation of the book’s release date, we can only speculate which characters will be the book’s focus.
The last book in the series, A Court of Silver Flames, moved away from Feyre and Rhysand’s story, and chances are high that the sixth book will follow that trend.
Although we don’t have an exact release date, we can only wait for regular updates from the author. But this is the next book on the author’s schedule, so that’s good news at least!
| A Court Of Thorns And Roses Books in Order: | Release Date: |
| A Court Of Thorns And Roses | 2015 |
| A Court Of Mist And Fury | 2016 |
| A Court Of Wings And Ruin | 2017 |
| A Court Of Frost And Starlight | 2019 |
| A Court Of Silver Flames | 2021 |
| ACOTAR Book 6 | TBA |
2. Crescent City Book 4
After the release of House of Flame and Shadow in January 2024, the third book in the Crescent City series, Maas confirmed that Crescent City 4 is happening!
In her interview with TODAY, the author revealed that she plans to do another book in the Crescent City series, even though the first three books brought the main story to a satisfying conclusion.
She’s excited about exploring new stories in this series and is enthusiastic about getting back to writing a new book!
However, the author has announced that it will “take quite a while” before the fourth Crescent City book is released. But she knows exactly who the book will be about, and she’s already got big ideas that she wants to include in the book!
| Crescent City Books in Order: | Release Date: |
| House of Earth and Blood | 2020 |
| House of Sky and Breath | 2022 |
| House of Flame and Shadow | 2024 |
| Crescent City Book 4 | TBA |
3. Unnamed Project
Apart from continuing two of her most popular series, the author also has a brand-new book in the pipeline, and it will be next in her schedule after she’s done with the sixth ACOTAR book!
It’s already known that Sarah J. Maas has signed a four-book deal with Bloomsbury, and this is on top of the three-book contract she’s currently under. It’s not revealed whether these new books will be part of the same series or set in different worlds.
However, the author is excited to dive into this new book and has teased fans by saying she won’t reveal which world this unnamed book will be set in!
In an interview with The Bookseller, the author stated, “I had planted seeds in all my series about the possibility of it being a multiverse.” So, there’s a chance that she may finally be writing a proper crossover series featuring all three worlds she’s created so far!
4. A Court Of Thorns And Roses Book 7
There’s no information about the upcoming ACOTAR book 6, which is supposed to be the author’s next project, so forget about knowing when to expect A Court of Thorns and Roses book 7 to hit the shelves!
The good news is that the author has already hinted that a seventh ACOTAR book is coming, and by the way she talked, it was pretty clear that she’s got a basic plot for the book already in her mind. She revealed her plans in her interview with TODAY, but there’s no concrete info for the book yet.
The bad news is that we don’t know where the book falls on the author’s projected timeline. Maybe she herself doesn’t know it at the moment. But it is coming, that’s for sure!
5. New Throne of Glass Book or Novella
Now, this is something we may need more information on from the author because she’s only said that she wants to explore more stories in the Throne of Glass universe.
With Sarah J. Maas busy with her already announced books, it may take a long time before she returns to her TOG series. Even then, it might be a novella exploring a story of one of the many characters from the series, and not exactly a novel or a brand-new series.
But it’s exciting that the author has several ideas for this series, too!
Who knows, maybe one of the books in the new four-book contract she signed with Bloomsbury would be a part of the Throne of Glass series. Or, perhaps the world of TOG will make a comeback in some way if the author does write a crossover story featuring all the different worlds!
| Throne of Glass Books in Order: | Release Date: |
| The Assassin’s Blade (Prequel Novellas) | 2014 |
| Throne of Glass | 2012 |
| Crown of Midnight | 2013 |
| Heir of Fire | 2014 |
| Queen of Shadows | 2015 |
| Empire of Storms | 2016 |
| Tower of Dawn | 2017 |
| Kingdom of Ash | 2018 |
| New Throne of Glass Book | TBA |

The author’s next title will be ACOTAR book 6, and then she’ll be busy with a brand-new project that she’s excited to write.
It will be some years before we read everything the author has announced, but that’s alright.
