The Author

Sarah J. Maas is the number one New York Times and internationally bestselling author of the Throne Of Glass and A Court Of Thorns And Roses series, as well as the epic urban fantasy series Crescent City.

A Court Of Thorns And Roses is in development for television with Hulu.

Sarah lives with her husband, son and dog.

Bryce Quinlan is hunting a demon that killed her best friend in the unmissable new fantasy series from multimillion and number one New York Times bestselling author Sarah J Maas.

WHATEVER HAD KILLED them must have heard her coming and hidden inside the trash chute, waiting for the chance to leap out at her or slink away unnoticed –

Bryce hit the stairs, a glowing white haze creeping over her vision. It blazed through every inhibition, disregarded every warning bell.

The glass door at the bottom of the stairs was already shattered. People screamed outside.

Bryce leapt from the top of the landing.

Her knees popped and buckled as she cleared the stairs, her bare feet shredding on the glass littering the lobby floor. Then they ripped open more as she hurtled through the door and into the street, scanning –

People were gasping to the right. Others were screaming. Cars had halted, drivers and passengers all staring toward a narrow alley between the building and its neighbour.

Their faces blurred and stretched, twisting their horror into something grotesque, something strange and primordial and – This was no hallucination.

Bryce sprinted across the street, following the screams.
