If your reading list revolves around the Night Court, clear your schedule and prep your wallet. Target is turning its aisles into Prythian with a massive merchandise lineup and late-night celebrations for the sixth installment in Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses series, A Court of Splintered Harmony.
The ACOTAR Collection officially landed on shelves at Target on Oct. 11, giving fans a head start on collecting themed gear. And soon, select stores will host late-night release parties where readers can purchase the new hardcover right as the clock strikes midnight.
Most of Target's ACOTAR collection is exclusive — and most items sit under $20. The lineup spans BrüMate tumblers, Fine'ry fragrances, Alex and Ani jewelry, Suriel teas, graphic apparel, kettle corn, and a tabletop game.
Party perks and gifts
On Oct. 26 from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. local time, approximately 250 Target stores nationwide will host an official A Court of Splintered Harmony midnight release event. Attendees can test their series knowledge with themed trivia, take photos, browse the merchandise line, and hang out with fellow fans.
First 100 guests — The first 100 people in line receive a free commemorative entry ticket and a complimentary Bryaxis keychain, allowing them to buy the book at midnight.
Sarah J. Maas gift with purchase — Anyone who buys A Court of Splintered Harmony at Target receives an exclusive gift designed in partnership with author Sarah J. Maas herself (while supplies last).
Hasbro game gift — Guests who purchase an ACOTAR Hasbro game during the event get a free mystery gift with purchase while supplies last.
Store pickup for online preorders will not be available at midnight. If you preordered for store pickup, your copy will be ready when doors open for regular business hours on Oct. 27.
To shop the full collection or check if your local store is hosting a midnight release party, head over to Target online or the Target app. Gather your Inner Circle, brush up on your Suriel trivia, and hit up your nearest store on Oct. 26 to grab Book Six the second it drops.
