Target is currently offering a buy two, get one free promotion that includes preorders for Sarah J. Maas's forthcoming A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) books. This sale coincides with the upcoming releases of the sixth and seventh installments in the popular romantasy series, scheduled for October 2026 and January 2027, respectively.
The next book, tentatively titled A Court of Splintered Harmony, will focus on the Valkyries and marks a significant return after a five-year gap since the last ACOTAR novel. This promotion represents one of the most substantial deals seen for these highly anticipated titles.
Target's Book Sale Details
The retailer's buy two, get one free offer is set to conclude on October 10, although the duration of the ACOTAR preorder inclusion remains unconfirmed. Similar promotions have appeared on Amazon during its Prime Big Deal Days event, with some deals being removed periodically. Beyond the discount, Target is also providing exclusive gifts with each book purchase not available elsewhere.
To take advantage of the promotion, customers must add three eligible items to their cart, and the system will automatically deduct the cost of the least expensive item at checkout. This means that to benefit from the offer when preordering the two new ACOTAR books, an additional eligible item will need to be selected.
For readers new to the series or looking to complete their collection, Target's sale also includes the ACOTAR box set, which contains paperback editions of the first five books. The promotion is applicable as long as three qualifying books are added to the cart. Other book deals are also available, including discounts on the latest Harry Potter Illustrated Edition.
The Future of the ACOTAR Series
Sarah J. Maas has been actively developing her romantasy universe. A planned Hulu television series adaptation was canceled last year, prompting Maas to reclaim the rights to her work. Since then, the franchise has expanded into tabletop adaptations and various other merchandise. Maas has also indicated that an eighth book is in development, though further details have not yet been disclosed.
