ACOTAR Midnight Release Party: A Velaris Starfall Celebration

Step into Velaris for one enchanted night as we celebrate the newest installment in the beloved A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas.

For this special midnight release, we’re transforming the store into the City of Starlight for a Velaris-inspired Starfall celebration. Join fellow romantasy readers for a true readers celebration and after-hours gathering filled with themed treats, glowing lights, and a countdown to midnight.

• A copy of the new ACOTAR book (guaranteed with ticket purchase)

• Entry to our Velaris Starfall release party

• Themed drinks & snacks

• ACOTAR-inspired swag bag

• Fandom games, trivia, giveaways & prizes

• Photo opportunities beneath the “stars”

• A midnight countdown + book pickup

We’ll be debuting a special ACOTAR release collection created just for this launch — and party guests will have first access to shop it before it’s available to the public. Think limited-edition bookish goods inspired by Velaris and the Night Court, available in limited quantities. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

• Everything included in the standard ticket

• Early entry to the event

• Exclusive Velaris-themed tote bag filled with premium swag

We’ll also feature a special local vendor pop-up (TBA) during the celebration for anyone wanting to add a little extra sparkle to their Night Court look.

Costumes are highly encouraged — think flowing gowns, starry crowns, Illyrian wings, and High Lord energy.

• Tickets are required and include your book preorder

• Limit one ticket (and one book) per person

• Tickets are limited to 40 guests to keep the evening intimate and magical.

Event starts at 9PM and ends at 1:00AM

Raise a glass under the stars, celebrate with fellow fans, and count down to midnight together in the City of Starlight.
