A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) is a five-part young adult high fantasy series by Sarah J. Maas that follows the adventures of Feyre Archeron, a 19-year-old huntress, in the faerie lands of Prythian. The series is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast and has been described as sweet and compelling.
The story begins when Feyre accidentally kills a wolf in the woods and ends up on the wrong side of the human-faerie border. She is given the choice to die or become a human prisoner, and her decision sets her on a journey of romance and adventure.
Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not truly a beast, but one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled her world.
At least, he’s not a beast all the time…and so ensues a complicated relationship with Tamlin, the High Lord of the Spring Court.
But something is not right in the faerie lands. An ancient, wicked shadow is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it, or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.
From bestselling author Sarah J. Maas comes a breathtaking book that blends romance, adventure, and faerie lore into an unforgettable read.
