The cover is certainly a feast for the eyes. I for one, love the dark purple background that compliments the elegant gold illustrative work. This series has already been recognized for its stunning book covers, and they didn’t disappoint with the third book.

Along with the cover reveal, is the announcement of some US exclusive editions, which will show up at specific retailers. Let’s hope those of us living outside the US will have our own exclusive options too.

See below for the list of currently announced US exclusive editions for House of Flame and Shadow!

UPDATE – July 19th, 2023: House of Flame and Shadow COVER REVEALED

Here is the official book cover for Crescent City – House of Flame and Shadow

The original article continued…

This is a temporary cover. The full cover artwork will be released at a later time.

Mild House of Sky and Breath spoilers are ahead

Crescent City: House of Flame and Shadow will continue the story of Bryce Quinlan, the half-human and half-fae series protagonist. At the end of House of Sky and Breath, Bryce found herself in a new realm. The very realm that characters from Maas’ other series A Court of Thorns and Roses is set in. This had many fans excited at a Maas connected universe finally coming to fruition.

Bloomsbury released a brief synopsis to accompany this announcement.

“Hunt is trapped in a dungeon, stripped of freedom and without a clue as to Bryce’s fate. With House of Flame and Shadow, the Crescent City series reaches new heights as Bryce and Hunt’s world is brought to the brink of collapse – with its fate resting on their shoulders.”

In addition to the announcement of the book, it was also revealed that Sarah J. Maas has signed an extended deal at Bloomsbury. It is a further four-book deal that will help to boost Sarah J. Maas’ global brand over the next few years.

On top of this, there is also a TV adaptation of A Court of Thorns and Roses in the works that will debut on Hulu sometime in the future. The release date for this series is currently unknown.

Combined, Sarah J. Maas has sold over 26 million copies of her Throne of Glass, Court of Thorns and Roses, and Crescent City books. Learn more about Sarah J. Maas in our author biography.
