Warning: Spoilers ahead for Sarah J. Maas’ books.

Buckle in, “A Court of Thorns and Roses” fans: “A Court of Splintered Harmony” hits shelves on Tuesday, reuniting readers with the Night Court for the first new “ACOTAR” novel in five years.

The last book, 2021’s “A Court of Silver Flames,” wraps up relatively neatly: Nesta learns to weather her trauma while training to become one of the forgotten female warriors, the Valkyrie; Feyre and Rhysand have a baby; and Cassian and Nesta fall in love and accept their mating bond.

The synopsis for “Splintered Harmony” hints at lingering conflicts, both in and outside of the Inner Circle, that have yet to take center stage.
