The Inner Circle is the governing council and found family of the Night Court from Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses series. Based in the hidden city of Velaris in Prythian, the circle includes High Lord Rhysand, High Lady Feyre, Illyrian commanders Cassian and Azriel, Morrigan, Amren, and the Archeron sisters Nesta and Elain.

Known for defending their realm against tyranny, the circle is bound by shared survival and deep personal loyalty. Having endured years of war and the ordeal Under the Mountain, they set aside formal court rituals when at home, favoring shared meals, dry ribbing, and quiet evenings in their riverside townhouse along the Sidra.

Readers who love the fantasy books and appreciate a protective, supportive chosen family text this group. They reach out to share creative projects, debrief after long days, talk through reading lists, or simply enjoy casual banter with steadfast companions.
