Fans dressed as \"faeries\" are expected to gather at various locations, causing a surge in demand for the books. Known for its blend of fantasy and romance, the series has sold over 75 million copies in 40 languages, making it a global phenomenon. Maas, who began writing at 16, has created a universe encompassing three interconnected sagas that have captured the hearts of millions of readers, particularly young women.
