Ilary Blasi è una delle conduttrici più conosciute della televisione italiana e, dopo anni di carriera tra programmi di intrattenimento, reality show e produzioni per le piattaforme digitali, può contare su diverse fonti di reddito. Dai compensi televisivi alle collaborazioni commerciali, passando per il patrimonio immobiliare e i progetti realizzati con Netflix, il suo profilo economico si è evoluto insieme alla sua popolarità.

Stabilire con precisione a quanto ammonti oggi la ricchezza della conduttrice, tuttavia, non è semplice. Non sono disponibili dati pubblici completi sul suo patrimonio personale, né un bilancio ufficiale che permetta di sommare immobili, liquidità, investimenti e guadagni professionali. Le cifre che circolano sui media devono quindi essere considerate stime o indiscrezioni, non valori certificati.

I guadagni televisivi: il peso del rapporto con Mediaset

Una parte importante delle entrate di Ilary Blasi deriva dalla sua lunga carriera televisiva. Il rapporto con Mediaset le ha permesso di consolidare la propria presenza sul piccolo schermo, conducendo programmi di grande visibilità come L’Isola dei Famosi, Grande Fratello Vip e altri format di intrattenimento. Numeri alla mano, secondo indiscrezioni riportate dalla stampa, il cachet di Blasi per il ritorno al Grande Fratello Vip nel 2026 si aggirerebbe intorno ai 25.000 euro a puntata. Se si considera una stagione composta da circa 26 appuntamenti, il compenso lordo potrebbe avvicinarsi a 650.000 euro. Si tratta, però, di una stima legata alla durata ipotizzata del programma, non di una cifra ufficialmente confermata dalla conduttrice o dall’emittente.

In passato sono circolate anche valutazioni più elevate per altri programmi, tra cui compensi che sarebbero arrivati a circa 50.000 euro per puntata per L’Isola dei Famosi. Anche in questo caso, in assenza di conferme contrattuali, è opportuno però distinguere le indiscrezioni dalle informazioni verificate. In ogni caso, i programmi televisivi rappresentano una componente centrale del suo potenziale patrimonio economico.

Netflix e i ricavi dei progetti personali

Negli ultimi anni, la conduttrice ha affiancato alla televisione tradizionale nuove esperienze professionali sulle piattaforme digitali. Tra queste rientrano Unica e Ilary, produzioni Netflix che hanno raccontato aspetti della sua vita privata e del percorso successivo alla separazione dall’ex calciatore Francesco Totti. Non sono però disponibili dati pubblici sufficienti per stabilire quanto Blasi abbia effettivamente incassato da ciascun progetto. Le cifre circolate sulla stampa, comprese quelle che attribuiscono a Unica un compenso di circa 700.000 euro, non possono essere considerate guadagni certificati senza una conferma attendibile.

A questi introiti potenziali si aggiungono le opportunità commerciali collegate alla notorietà acquisita: sponsorizzazioni, campagne pubblicitarie, collaborazioni con marchi e contenuti pubblicati sui social network.

La villa all’Eur e il patrimonio immobiliare

Il capitolo immobiliare è uno degli elementi più rilevanti nelle ricostruzioni sulla ricchezza della conduttrice. Al centro dell’attenzione c’è la villa situata nel quartiere Eur di Roma, associata per anni alla vita familiare di Ilary Blasi e Francesco Totti. Il valore dell’abitazione è stato stimato da diverse testate in circa 18 milioni di euro. La residenza, descritta come una proprietà di dimensioni eccezionali, disporrebbe di oltre 1.500 metri quadrati, numerose stanze, piscina, spa, sala cinema privata e un ampio giardino.

Secondo alcune ricostruzioni giornalistiche, la conduttrice disporrebbe anche di altre proprietà immobiliari, tra Roma e Milano. Si è parlato di almeno cinque ulteriori abitazioni nella capitale e di un immobile nel capoluogo lombardo.

Il divorzio da Francesco Totti e l’assegno per i figli

La vicenda con Francesco Totti ha avuto anche conseguenze economiche, soprattutto per quanto riguarda il mantenimento dei figli e la gestione delle spese familiari. Il Tribunale civile di Roma avrebbe ridotto nel luglio 2026 l’assegno mensile a carico dell’ex calciatore da 12.500 a 10.900 euro per il mantenimento dei figli. A questa somma si aggiungerebbero le spese straordinarie e quelle scolastiche, secondo le modalità stabilite in sede giudiziaria. Le questioni economiche tra gli ex coniugi comprendono inoltre la gestione delle spese relative alla villa e altri aspetti della separazione.

Il patrimonio di Bastian Müller

Oggi Ilary Blasi è sposata con Bastian Müller-Pettenpohl, imprenditore tedesco legato a una famiglia attiva da generazioni nel settore delle perforazioni e della costruzione di pozzi.

Prima di entrare nell’attività di famiglia, avrebbe lavorato nel settore dell’ospitalità di lusso a St. Moritz, in Svizzera, dove tra il 2007 e il 2015 si sarebbe occupato di servizi esclusivi per clienti facoltosi. In seguito avrebbe proseguito il proprio percorso professionale nell’azienda di famiglia. Alcune ricostruzioni giornalistiche attribuiscono al gruppo Müller-Pettenpohl un valore di circa 2 milioni di euro, segnalando anche la presenza di debiti. Non sono però disponibili valutazioni ufficiali e aggiornate che consentano di determinare con precisione il patrimonio personale dell’imprenditore nel 2026.

• I've never been skiing.

When I arrived at the Four Seasons Jackson Hole on a muggy day in early September, I imagined it covered in snow. This was in 2024, when I visited Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for the first time.

I spent one night at the five-star ski-in, ski-out resort. If I ever take a ski trip, I imagine that my room at this Four Seasons would be a peaceful place to rest after an active day of gliding through powder.

Marco Mengoni è tra i cantanti italiani con un’attività economica più rilevante, grazie ai ricavi legati alla musica, ai concerti e agli investimenti immobiliari. Il patrimonio personale dell’artista non è noto con precisione, ma i bilanci delle società a lui riconducibili permettono di ricostruire parte dei suoi interessi economici. La società No Comment Opificio Musicale Srl ha registrato nel 2024 ricavi per 3,294 milioni di euro, in calo rispetto ai 4,32 milioni dell’anno precedente. Nonostante la diminuzione del fatturato, l’utile netto è aumentato sensibilmente, raggiungendo 360.407 euro. Oltre all’attività musicale, Mengoni ha investito nel settore immobiliare, acquistando diverse proprietà a Milano e partecipando attraverso una società dedicata alla gestione di immobili.

Quanto guadagna Marco Mengoni: il fatturato della società musicale

Il principale indicatore economico dell’attività imprenditoriale di Marco Mengoni è rappresentato dai conti della No Comment Opificio Musicale Srl. Secondo il bilancio relativo al 2024, la società ha registrato ricavi per 3,294 milioni di euro, con una riduzione del 23,7% rispetto al 2023. Il risultato economico finale è stato però superiore a quello dell’anno precedente. L’utile netto è passato da 16.675 euro nel 2023 a 360.407 euro nel 2024, aumentando di oltre venti volte.

Il miglioramento è legato soprattutto alla riduzione dei costi sostenuti per servizi e collaborazioni esterne, scesi da circa 4,1 milioni a 2,66 milioni di euro. Gli utili realizzati nel 2024 non sono stati distribuiti al cantante, ma accantonati a riserva dalla società. Il fatturato aziendale non corrisponde quindi al guadagno personale di Mengoni, perché comprende ricavi destinati anche a coprire i costi di produzione e gestione dell’attività musicale.

Quanto vale il patrimonio di Marco Mengoni

Nel corso della carriera, Marco Mengoni ha destinato parte dei propri guadagni all’acquisto di immobili. Il primo investimento documentato risale all’ottobre 2013, quando il cantante acquistò una casa a Milano, anche attraverso un mutuo decennale da 380mila euro. Il finanziamento venne estinto anticipatamente nel 2019 e l’immobile fu successivamente conferito alla società Akisifio Real Estate.

Il cantautore vincitore di due edizioni del Festival di Sanremo ha poi acquistato altre due abitazioni nel capoluogo lombardo, rispettivamente nel dicembre 2018 e nel giugno 2023. Anche No Comment Opificio Musicale ha effettuato investimenti immobiliari, acquistando nel 2014 una sede a Milano destinata alle attività professionali e alla realizzazione di uno studio di registrazione. Nel giugno 2023 la società ha inoltre acquistato una quota del 50% di un altro immobile, del valore indicato di 240mila euro, e una pertinenza della propria sede.

Al patrimonio immobiliare riconducibile all’artista si aggiungono anche i beni ereditati dalla madre Nadia Ferrari, scomparsa nel settembre 2024. L’eredità comprende quote di proprietà immobiliari a Ronciglione, in provincia di Viterbo, tra cui appartamenti, negozi e magazzini, oltre a un villino i cui diritti sono stati ripartiti tra il cantante e il padre Maurizio.

Akisifio Real Estate, i conti della società immobiliare

L’attività immobiliare di Marco Mengoni è gestita anche attraverso Akisifio Real Estate, società che nel 2024 ha registrato risultati economici differenti rispetto a quelli dell’impresa musicale. Il fatturato è stato pari a 20.314 euro, derivante da un canone di locazione, mentre l’esercizio si è chiuso con una perdita di 12.019 euro.

L’anno precedente la società aveva registrato ricavi per 17.601 euro e una perdita di 18.135 euro. Secondo i dati riportati nei bilanci, Akisifio dispone comunque di riserve superiori a mezzo milione di euro. L’amministratrice unica Claudia Carboni ha svolto il proprio incarico senza percepire compenso.

"I was taking my right hand and putting it on my heart, saying, ‘It’s okay, it’s okay, maalish, maalish,’" recalls Dina Mahmoud, founder of M3lesh UK, a community initiative that brings people together through music, cultural events, and wellbeing activities. "When I did that, I felt very, very calm, and I became attached to the name."

An Egyptian Arabic expression meaning ‘it’s okay’ or ‘never mind’, the word 'maalish' became a source of comfort for Dina during a difficult period after moving to the UK.

Three months after arriving, Dina was diagnosed with a serious medical condition and spent more than six months in hospital. Away from her family, she began to understand the importance of emotional support during recovery.

"They wanted me to understand that this wasn't the end of life, that I still had a chance and needed to have hope," she says, recalling the nurses who encouraged her to stay hopeful.

After leaving hospital, Mahmoud travelled to Egypt to visit her parents, who had not known the full extent of her illness. During the trip, her brother gave her a keyring bearing the word 'maalish'. Having already found comfort in the phrase, she was struck by the coincidence and began to wonder whether it could mean something more.

The gift also prompted her to think about people facing difficult circumstances without the support she had received. She wondered how many people across the UK were dealing with serious illness, grief, domestic abuse or the challenges of building a life away from family, often without anyone to turn to.

"I was thinking about how many people in the UK were suffering on their own," she shares. 

That concern eventually led Mahmoud to establish M3lesh UK around a year and a half ago. Having lived in the UK for more than 15 years, she understood how difficult it could be to build a support network far from home. She wanted to create a space where people could meet, talk openly about their problems and find help without feeling ashamed of what they were going through.

Raising awareness through community

As Dina puts it, M3lesh UK is built around three pillars: awareness, stress relief and networking. Together, they aim to help people understand their wellbeing, manage everyday pressures and build relationships with others.

One of the initiative's key partnerships is with the NHS Be Well hub, which provides free mental health training in Arabic.

M3lesh UK also works with the Stroke Association to raise awareness of stroke and the importance of recognising warning signs.

Meanwhile, her The Power of You workshop focuses on building mental resilience, helping participants recognise their strengths and develop ways to navigate personal and professional challenges. Through these sessions, Dina hopes to make conversations about mental wellbeing more accessible, particularly within Arabic-speaking communities.

“It's not a shame to say that I am not okay," she says. "Come and say that you are not okay, and we are going to help you through our awareness sessions, workshops and events."

Music, movement and connection

Alongside awareness sessions, music has become one of M3lesh UK's main ways of bringing people together. During her recovery, listening to music and the Quran helped Dina feel calmer, inspiring her to organise events that could offer others a similar experience.

One of the initiative's early gatherings featured the London Arab Orchestra, with audiences encouraged to sing along and take part in the performance.

This idea continues through Yalla Nighani, M3lesh UK's Arab music events. Its latest gathering attracted around 1,500 people, bringing attendees together to celebrate their music and culture.

The initiative has also organised anniversary celebrations, Ramadan iftars and suhoors, giving people opportunities to meet outside their everyday routines.

M3lesh UK has also used its activities to encourage conversations about women's health. A five-day retreat in Soma Bay, Egypt, brought together women from Iraqi, Tunisian, Algerian, Lebanese, Egyptian and Nubian backgrounds.

The retreat also welcomed women from Morocco, the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain, and included a breast cancer awareness session. Dina hopes to build on this work through further retreats, including a planned trip to Luxor and Aswan in December, as well as somatic movement and belly dance classes.

These activities reflect Dina's belief that wellbeing also involves having time to relax, enjoy yourself and connect with others.

Building cultural connections

For Dina, bringing people together also means creating opportunities for different Arab communities to connect through their shared heritage.

One example is her relationship with Emirati engineer Latifa Bent Eissa, who gifted Dina a piece of artwork carrying a humanitarian message from the UAE to people everywhere. Dina sees the gesture as a reminder of how cultural exchange can build understanding and bring people together across borders.

M3lesh UK also welcomes people of different backgrounds and genders. Mahmoud says men have approached M3lesh UK for support after separation or divorce, while others in their late 30s and 40s want to find a partner and get married. These conversations have highlighted the need for spaces where people can discuss relationships without feeling judged.

The initiative is also developing camping trips and M3lesh UK Plus, a weekly gathering where people can share meals, listen to music, dance and build friendships.

Dina hopes these activities will help international students living away from family and young people who feel disconnected from their family's country of origin find a greater sense of belonging.

Practical support when it matters most

While social activities help people build connections, some need more direct assistance. M3lesh UK has built a network of volunteers, including solicitors, financial advisers, and doctors, who can help people access practical support. Dina also supports Syrian refugees in Oxford, where she lives, through community events and talks on mental health and wellbeing.

She recalls helping a woman who had experienced domestic abuse and travelled to Egypt with her two young children. According to Dina, the woman's husband left with the children, taking her passport and phone.

Dina contacted a solicitor and other organisations to help the woman return to the UK. Volunteers met her at the airport, while another organisation helped arrange safe accommodation. The woman and her children are now safe, she says.

"Our work goes beyond community events. We also want to help people access legal and practical support when they don’t know where to turn," Dina tells The New Arab.

'A life well lived'

Alongside her community work, Dina has a background in business, healthcare recruitment and education. She previously worked as sales and marketing director at DHL and holds MSc qualifications in Digital Marketing and Business Management. She now connects healthcare providers with staff, including healthcare assistants and registered nurses, and provides teaching assistants for special educational needs schools.

For Dina, these different roles share a common aim: supporting people and helping them access the resources they need.

She says helping others through difficult experiences has also given her a sense of purpose.

"When I help someone who is struggling, especially someone going through something severe, it makes me happy," she says. "People need to be able to talk about their wellbeing and feel safe when they do."

As M3lesh UK grows, Dina hopes to build more partnerships and expand its activities, helping people access support, make connections and feel part of a community.

Under the initiative's logo is a phrase that sums up her vision: 'A life well lived'. For Dina, that means looking after yourself, looking after others and helping people feel that they belong.

• Sarah J. Maas' sixth "A Court of Thorns and Roses" novel comes out on October 27.
• Book seven will follow on January 12, 2027, as Maas first announced in March 2026.
• Maas has been revealing which characters will tell the story on her social media in recent days.

Sarah J. Maas fans, it's finally time to go back to Prythian.

The sixth "A Court of Thorns and Roses" novel, titled "A Court of Splintered Harmony," will hit bookshelves on October 27 after months of anticipation. It will be quickly followed by book seven, "A Court of Forgotten Melody," on January 12, 2027.

It's been five years since Maas last released an "ACOTAR" book, and the novel is eagerly awaited not only by fans but also by Maas' publisher, Bloomsbury. The company's sales fell 10% for the 2025-2026 fiscal year because Maas didn't release a new book, Publishers Weekly reported.

Both Bloomsbury and Maas have been sharing teasers on social media about "A Court of Splintered Harmony" in the lead-up to its publication, with Maas revealing which characters will be narrating the novel (after asking fans to stop sharing any leaks of book six).

Here's everything we know about "ACOTAR" six so far.

Warning: Some spoilers for Maas' work — including "ACOTAR" and "Crescent City" — ahead.

Maas is releasing the sixth 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' story in multiple volumes

In March 2023, Bloomsbury announced that Maas had signed a deal for three more books with the publisher. At the time, she was already under contract for four titles, including "House of Flame and Shadow," the third installment in her "Crescent City" series, published in January 2024. Readers didn't find out what the next book she would write would be until her March 2026 appearance on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast with Alex Cooper.

She told Cooper she finished the sixth "ACOTAR" book while writing in Montana over the summer of 2025, but she didn't share details about it because of its nontraditional release structure.

"This book's coming out October 27, and then on January 12, like two months later, I can't do math, whatever that is, the next ACOTAR book will be coming out," Maas said. "So there will be two books within, like, a very short span."

As her fans will know, Maas' books are typically split into parts, separating different sections of the story she is telling. However, when it comes to the sixth "ACOTAR" story, Maas said the individual parts became longer than she anticipated as she started writing, with part one coming in at 400 pages at one point.

As she continued writing, Maas decided the parts didn't have to be in a single physical book.

"What if this book was really long?" she said. "What if it took me more than a thousand pages to tell the story that needed to be told, the arc that I wanted to create from start to finish?"

Maas said the story for "ACOTAR" six was ultimately divided into four parts, though it is still one cohesive story. Part one is the novel Bloomsbury will publish on October 27, 2026, and parts two and three will be published together on January 12, 2027. Maas has yet to write or give a publication date for part four, but she told Cooper all three volumes would be published "in a very short time."

"It's meant to be read, ideally, as one massive, massive story as opposed to in a trilogy," she said. "It's not a trilogy. Like, arcs aren't wrapped up."

Maas finally shared some details about the books in August 2026

On August 16, Maas cleared her Instagram of all its posts, changing her profile photo to a black-and-white illustration of a monster and a spider. Then, on August 17, she shared the covers and titles of books six and seven on social media.

The "Splintered Harmony" cover features a pink-and-orange backdrop with a sketched drawing of a monster with teeth and bones, and the subtitle is "The Valkyrie Cycle: Movement I." The Valkyrie were introduced to "ACOTAR" in "A Court of Silver Flames," when Nesta Archeron brought the legendary all-female fighting squad back to life alongside her friends Gwyn and Emerie.

Maas posted the book alongside the tagline, "What was broken will be remade." The blurb shared on booksellers' websites reveals that the Night Court is facing new threats when book six opens: Koschei the Deathless, one of three legendary monster siblings introduced throughout "ACOTAR," and those willing to ally with him to claim the newly freed human lands.

The description also notes that there is tension among the members of the Night Court because of "recent betrayals and revealed truths," which they must work through if they want to defeat Koschei.

"A Court of Splintered Harmony" will be 352 pages and will include three bonus chapters from the "ACOTAR" series. Those bonus chapters were previously published in specific editions of Maas' novels, but they will be in all copies of "ACOSH," as the publisher shared on its social media on September 24. One chapter focuses on Feyre and Rhysand, one on Cassian and Nesta, and one on Azriel's experience on the Winter Solstice that takes place in "A Court of Silver Flames."

Teasers from the new book

In mid-September, Bloomsbury began sharing quotes from "A Court of Splintered Harmony," offering more insight into the novel than the vague blurbs.

It released six quotes in total, and the first, shared on September 17, revealed that at least some of the novel will be told from Lucien Vanserra's perspective.

"Lucien's heart thundered, throat drying out," the quote read. "Maybe this had been a terrible idea."

Lucien has only played a supporting role in the "ACOTAR" books so far, but Maas has been teeing up his expanded role in her books through his unaccepted mating bond with Elain Archeron, Feyre's middle sister, and his connection to Koschei. He serves as an emissary to the human lands for the Night Court in "ACOSF," alongside Jurian and Vassa, a human queen who was sold to Koschei and cursed to turn into a firebird each day. It would be surprising if Vassa — and by extension Lucien — weren't involved in fighting against Koschei in book six.

Likewise, the final quote Bloomsbury shared on October 9 appeared to confirm that Azriel will narrate some of "ACOSH." The quote didn't include his name, but the unnamed narrator was communicating with shadows: "'We are here,' the shadows whispered in his ear. 'We are always here.'"

Azriel is a Shadowsinger in the "ACOTAR" world, with his shadows being described as keeping him company and whispering to him as he serves as the Night Court's spymaster.

No other passage shared by Bloomsbury names a narrator, but interestingly, the quote shared on September 28 asks if it is "possible for mates to…un-mate" if a bond were to "fracture deeply enough" that it cannot be repaired.

Lucien and Elain's mating bond is strained because Elain has yet to accept it, so some fans think the comment is about them. At the end of "House of Flame and Shadow," though, Nesta and Cassian were at odds, so others think the quote hints at tension between the pair (more on that in a minute).

On October 24, Bloomsbury also shared a sneak peek of the map that sits at the front of "A Court of Splintered Harmony." It shows new locations in the Night Court, such as Sangravah, and in the Autumn Court, including the Forest House and the Thorn-Wood. It also offers a look at the faerie realms outside Prythian, such as Vallahan. Koschei's lake is in the other faerie realms, sitting among the open fae lands in front of a mountain range.

Maas chimes in

Maas' Instagram was quiet after she announced the titles of her books, until October 19, when she took to her Instagram story to ask fans not to share leaks of "A Court of Splintered Harmony."

"I know how much you love these books and these characters; I know you've been waiting for a long time to know what comes next," she wrote. "That love for these stories is exactly why I'm requesting that you please, please don't share leaks."

"Nothing about this release is meant to feel like a secret that needs to be found out," Maas went on. "Publishing a book takes time and effort from so many hardworking people to get it into your hands. Throughout this long process, everyone involved has been dedicated to keeping things from being spoiled, but sometimes things happen, and it is beyond disheartening to see out-of-context moments take away from all of you who have waited so patiently."

"All I'm asking for is just a bit more of that patience — until you can get everything in its fullness, the way it's meant to be read," Maas said.

Representatives for Maas did not respond to a request for comment on the Instagram story, and Maas did not specify which images spreading online contained authentic leaks of the book.

However, in the week leading up to the book's release, she posted a short video each day to reveal which of her characters would narrate "A Court of Splintered Harmony." Each video featured a quote from the character set against a sketch of the monster on the novel's cover. The backdrop for the first drop was gray, but it grew progressively darker, revealing stars with each post.

The narrators are:

Feyre

Feyre was the narrator for the first four "ACOTAR" books, telling the story from a first-person perspective. Like books one through four, the passage Maas shared was in the first-person perspective, unlike the other quotes:

"My body wouldn't move. Couldn't move. I could do nothing to help him, nothing at all, and I would die from it, this despair and agony. Please, I tried to beg the darkness, please. Anything. I'd give anything for him to be safe. My life, my territory, my — would you give that too?"

Maas provided no further context about the quote, though fans were quick to point out that the inner monologue seemed like what Feyre would have been thinking when she gave birth to her son, Nyx, as she and the baby almost died because he was born with wings. Rhys also nearly lost his life, as he and Feyre bound their lives together at the end of "A Court of Wings and Ruin." Nesta saved them all by returning her power to the cauldron, but the passage could be a flashback to the scene from Feyre's perspective.

Cassian

Cassian was one of the two narrators of "A Court of Silver Flames," which told his and Nesta's love story. His passage from the new novel appears to show him and Nesta at odds:

"So Cassian let her go. Let her keep walking down the hall, and out the front door. Nesta didn't look back at him. Not once."

It's unclear what they may be fighting about, though Cassian was disapproving of Nesta's actions in "House of Flame and Shadow." Details below.

Nesta

In the quote Maas shared from Nesta, the eldest Archeron sister is drawn to some unnamed power.

"On trembling legs, head spinning, Nesta managed to get to her feet. Maybe whatever called for her over the northern horizon was a siren song, luring her away from what mattered, who mattered. Come, it beckoned, but to where? To what end? More shadows and loneliness and secrets? It would consume her, if she let it."

Lucien

Maas' quote from Lucien was more specific than the one Bloomsbury shared, shedding light on the fire-wielder's frustration with Feyre.

"Lucien ran a hand through his hair. Tamlin had saved him. And then Lucien had rebuilt himself, his life. Only for Feyre to bring it all crumbling down."

Lucien is likely reflecting on Feyre's actions in "ACOWAR," when she brought down the Spring Court after Tamlin made a deal with the King of Hybern to get her back.

Gwyn

Gwyn is haunted by memories of her past in the sneak peek Maas offered from her portion of the novel.

"Gwyn staggered back from the railing, from the darkness, fingers fumbling for the invoking stone in her pocket. It was glowing and warm to the touch in a way that had nothing to do with its proximity to her flesh. You are here, the stone seemed to affirm, you are safe. The past cannot harm you. Gwyn shook her head. She was inclined to disagree."

Gwyn may be in the library where she works, as readers saw her and Nesta fleeing a dark force there in "A Court of Silver Flames."

Mor

At the end of "A Court of Frost and Starlight," Mor set off for Vallahan, another fae realm, to attempt to get the leaders there to sign a new treaty between humans and fae. She appears to be continuing that work in "A Court of Splintered Harmony," based on the teaser Maas shared about Mor, and offering more detail about her power, which is simply referred to as "truth" in "ACOTAR."

"She flexed her hands at her sides, working out the faint trembling in them. It was a fool's errand. She knew it — Rhys and Feyre knew it. Vallahan would know it, too. But she'd try. One last time. Mor sucked in a breath, an ancient, night-kissed power awakening from its slumber deep within her. Different from Rhys's, older."

Azriel

Maas confirmed Azriel was a narrator for the book the day before its release, writing of his Illyrian heritage:

"You are an Illyrian, Azriel — the wind sings through your very blood. You cannot be caged. You cannot be broken. They lock you away because they fear you."

The quote seems to refer to Azriel's childhood, as he spent his early years locked in his father's home, unable to learn to fly.

More clues about 'ACOTAR' 6 narrators

It makes sense that Nesta and Gwyn will be central to Maas' new books since the novels are part of "The Valkyrie Cycle." The Valkyries were a central focus of "A Court of Silver Flames."

The book ushered in a new era for the series, as it was told from Nesta's perspective. Maas again focused on her in "House of Flame and Shadow" in her "Crescent City" series.

The "recent betrayals and revealed truths" mentioned in the description of "A Court of Splintered Harmony" could refer to Nesta's actions in "HOFAS." Specifically, the "revealed truths" may reference the resurrection of the long-forgotten Dusk Court in Prythian, which they discover Rhysand is an heir to, while the "recent betrayal" against the Night Court could be Nesta's lending the Mask of the Dread Trove to Bryce Quinlan, the "Crescent City" protagonist, without Rhysand and Feyre's permission.

Bryce also gave Nesta the sword Gwydion at the end of "HOFAS," telling her she thinks she was meant to have it when she returns the Mask. Nesta shared with Bryce in the same scene that Cassian is the most upset with her of everyone for her actions.

It seems Maas was setting up a continuation of Nesta's story for her next "ACOTAR" story in the scene, which may see her explore her power and connections to the fae of the Dusk Court.

You can read a more detailed breakdown of what to remember from Maas' previous works ahead of "ACOTAR" six here.

Elain's role in future 'ACOTAR' books

One notable character doesn't yet have a confirmed POV in the new novel: Elain Archeron.

In "A Court of Silver Flames," Elain had settled into life at the Night Court, refusing to explore her mating bond with Lucien or her Seer powers. She also seems to have an attraction to Azriel in the text, with the pair almost kissing in his bonus chapter. However, Maas juxtaposes their connection with the ill-fitting aspects of life at the Night Court for Elain during a visit to the Court of Nightmares in "ACOSF."

Maas told Eva Chen during an appearance on "Live Talks Los Angeles" in February 2021 that she planned to write a book from Elain's perspective. She also discussed Elain on "Call Her Daddy" in March 2026, saying Lucien's involvement in bringing Elain to the fae world is a barrier to their relationship. Maas said she was "interested" as a writer in exploring what it meant for someone not to desire to be mated.

It's surprising that Elain is not confirmed to have a POV in "A Court of Splintered Harmony," given Maas' past comments, the brewing tension surrounding Elain, and the fact that both Lucien and Azriel have POVs in the book. Elain may have a surprise chapter in the book, or she could narrate future installments in the series.

Readers will have to wait and see what role Maas plans for Elain to play in the new "ACOTAR" books.

I’m obsessed with sleep data, but I don’t love wearing a smartwatch to bed. Can the Hatch Sleep Clock give me the best of both worlds at an affordable price?

If you go to bed in the early hours of the morning, or if you are chronically sleep-deprived for several days, your already exhausted body will react immediately—manifesting symptoms such as headaches, joint pain, digestive upset, or even the sudden onset of a runny nose. This is because sleep is directly linked to the health […]

Setembro marca um novo começo. Depois dos dias longos e descontraídos do verão, regressamos às rotinas, ao trabalho e ao ritmo do dia a dia. E, tal como nós, também a casa merece preparar-se para esta nova estação e voltar a ser o centro da vida quotidiana.

In 2025, young people in the EU left their parents’ home at an average age of 26.3 years, up slightly from 26.2 years in 2024. 

Since 2002, this average age stayed close to 26 years.

The highest average ages for leaving the parental home, at 30 years or above, were recorded in Croatia (31.5 years), Greece and Slovakia (both 30.9), and Spain and Italy (both 30.2). By contrast, the lowest average ages were registered in Finland (21.4 years), Denmark (21.8) and Estonia and Lithuania (both 22.7).

In 2025, the employment rate in the EU among young people aged 20-29 years was 65.5%. 

In most countries where the age at which young people leave the parental home is below the EU average, the employment rate for 20-29-year-olds is above EU average.

For example, in countries where young people tend to leave the parental home sooner, such as the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and Sweden the employment rate for young people tends to be higher.

In countries where young people leave the parental home later, such as Greece, Croatia, Spain and Italy, the employment rate was lower than the EU average.

Methodological notes

The average age at which young people leave the parental home is an approximate measure based on whether respondents of the European Union Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS) and their parents live in the same household. The calculation covers each single year of age from 15 to 34. It takes into account, separately for male and female categories, the share of respondents living in households without their parents in the total population. An ‘exit probability’ for each single year of age from 15 to 34 is calculated for the total, male and female populations. The indicator shows the age at which 50% of the population no longer live in a household with their parent(s).
