A Court of Thorns and Roses series (1)

A Court of Thorns and Roses series is a series of books by Sarah J. Maas which retells multiple fairy tales including the Beauty and the Beast and Hades and Persephone with faerie lore.

It was most likely inspired by the so-called "first Scottish fairytale", The Border ballad. This ballad tells the tale of Tam Lin, a knight who gets captured by the queen of fairies while hunting.

The main trilogy focuses on the tale of Feyre Archeron, as she is brought into the faerie lands of Prythian, after murdering a faerie.

On November 11, 2015, it was announced that Tempo Productions had optioned A Court of Thorns and Roses for film, however, the project was later scrapped. On March 2021, it was announced that it is being developed now as a tv series.

On July 12, 2016, Entertainment Weekly announced that Sarah J. Maas was writing five new books for the A Court of Thorns and Roses series, not including the first three novels of the series. There is also a coloring book, that was released in 2017. Two novellas will also be published, along with three novels which will be set before and after the first three books.[1][2]
