Synopsis
A Court of Silver Flames, a 2021 novel by Sarah J. Maas, is set in the same world as her A Court of Thorns and Roses series, in the uneasy period following the war with Hybern. It centers on Nesta Archeron, who continues to struggle with the trauma of her unwilling transformation into a High Fae and the losses she suffered during the conflict, and Cassian, a battle-scarred warrior of the Night Court who is repeatedly thrown into her orbit by the demands of court life. As Nesta wrestles with grief, isolation, and her new powers, an unsettling development emerges: the human queens who once allied with Hybern have resurfaced on the continent and appear to be forming a new, dangerous alliance. Drawn together despite their friction, Nesta and Cassian must confront their own pasts and the fragile peace now hanging in the balance.
