It's been over a year since fans of Sarah J. Maas got even a glimpse of the "A Court of Thorns and Roses" series.

Maas' magical world of Prythian briefly appeared in her 2024 novel, "House of Flame and Shadow," but the last "ACOTAR" book was released in 2021.

Still, fans of her romantasy series have reason to get excited. Maas has already confirmed her next book will be the sixth installment of the "ACOTAR" series — and she's been working on it for nearly two years.

Warning: There are some spoilers for Maas' work ahead.

In March 2023, Bloomsbury announced Maas signed a deal for three more books with the publisher. At the time, she was already contracted for four titles, including "House of Flame and Shadow," the third installment in her "Crescent City" series.

In September 2023, Maas gave readers their first clue as to what would come next in the six books she had left under her contract, telling Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings during a "Live Talks Los Angeles" appearance that she was "drafting" the next "ACOTAR" book — and having a blast doing it.

"I will say that I've become so focused and obsessed with writing this book," she told Hobbs and Billings. "It's like that feeling of having a crush or when you're first, like, obsessed with someone, and you're just thinking about it nonstop."

Likewise, in a January 2024 interview with Today's Jenna Bush Hager, Maas said her next published work would be the sixth installment of "ACOTAR."

"I'm very, very excited about that one," Maas told Today of the coming book, though she didn't give any details about it.

Bloomsbury has not announced a release date or title for the sixth "ACOTAR" book, though Maas indicated she was working on the book in an Instagram post in April 2024.
