Sarah J. Maas

Sarah J. Maas pulls an eighteen-year-old assassin out of a salt mine, dresses her in court finery, and sets her loose in a deadly competition to win her own freedom. It's the launch of a sprawling fantasy series, and it knows exactly what it wants to be: fast, romantic, and unapologetically fun.

Sarah J. Maas trades fae courts for a sprawling modern magical metropolis, then runs a murder investigation through it as a half-fae party girl and a chained fallen angel hunt whatever killed her best friend. It's huge, profane, and grief-soaked, and the back half hits like a freight train.
