The catalogue holds 45 books dated 2012 to 2027, starting in 2012 with The Assassin and the Pirate Lord and Throne of Glass, then Crown of Midnight in 2013. A Court of Splintered Harmony (2026) is the newest release, and A Court of Forgotten Melody is scheduled for 2027. Subjects across the books include fairies, assassins, magic, courts and courtiers, and romance. By 2024 Maas had sold more than 75 million copies, with translations in 40 languages.

A Court of Thorns and Roses, one of Maas's series, follows human Feyre, who enters the fairy realm of Prythian and falls in love with a fae. The series draws on traditional fairy tales without retelling them directly. Later installments are marketed to adult readers rather than young adults because of explicit sexual content.
