A Court of Frost and Starlight is a novella that bridges the gap between A Court of Wings and Ruin (ACOTAR #3) and the new spin off series.   A Court of Thorns and Roses A Court of Mist and Fury A Court of Wings and Ruin     Warning: The link for ACOWAR is a spoiler review.     "Feyre, Rhys, and their close-knit circle of friends are still busy rebuilding the Night Court and the vastly-changed world beyond. But Winter Solstice is finally near, and with it, a hard-earned reprieve. Yet even the festive atmosphere can't keep the shadows of the past from looming. As Feyre navigates her first Winter Solstice as High Lady, she finds that those dearest to her have more wounds than she anticipated--scars that will have far-reaching impact on the future of their Court."
