About the book:
PRE-ORDER - Publication date: 27/10/2026. A Court of Splintered Harmony by Sarah J. Mass (Book 6).

Romance, danger and intrigue await you in the breathtaking sixth book in the #1 bestselling Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series. What was broken will be remade. Deep in the heart of the continent, Koschei the Deathless is stirring. Though he's been bound to a mountain lake for millennia, the insidious threat of his return now spreads across the Fae territories, attracting powerful allies hell-bent on reclaiming what was once theirs: the human lands. The Night Court will not stand idly by while innocents are attacked. But with Prythian still piecing itself together in the wake of the devastating Hybern War, the task of uniting is proving more difficult by the day. To make matters worse, those who rule and protect the Night Court are reeling from recent betrayals and revealed truths. The rifts dividing them seem insurmountable. But to defeat Koschei's creeping shadow, they must find a way back to each other and resurrect their former alliances. To survive, they must find a way to repair the splintered harmony all around them.

A Court of Thorns and Roses
A Court of Mist and Fury
A Court of Wings and Ruin
A Court of Frost and Starlight

What a stunning evening with Vicki Notaro 🧡

A huge thank you to Dymphna Power for leading such a brilliant conversation. We honestly could have sat and listened to you both all night!

It was so special to see so many women enjoying the gorgeous setting of The Book Bar. It’s a space that deserves exactly this kind of energy — and ladies, you absolutely brought the love! 🧡

Everyone in that room was rooting for Vicki, and Vicki, you truly deserve every bit of it. To see you sitting in the bestseller charts for the third week in a row is just incredible.

We have a feeling this is only the beginning of many more wonderful evenings in our gorgeous Book Bar.

Waterford community, we need your help! 🧡

Does anyone have any old photographs of the inside of The Savoy Cinema that you’d be willing to share with us?

We’ve come across some fantastic photographs of the outside of the building, but we’d love to see what it looked like inside too — the cinema itself, the foyer, auditorium, or any little details you might have captured over the years.

A huge thank you to Frankie McEvoy for sharing this beautiful photograph with us. Frankie actually printed it and brought it into the store a few weeks ago, and it’s such a special piece of Waterford history to have. 🙏

If you have any photographs tucked away in an old album or box, we’d absolutely love to see them. Please send them our way! 📸

And feel free to share this post — you never know who might have one hidden away! 🧡
