The Empyrean Series is what some are calling the series of 2024. The booklist stated it was “suspenseful and had incredibly entertaining storytelling.” They believe “the first in Yarros’ Empyrean series will delight fans of romantic, adventurer-filled fantasy.”
Fourth Wing is a heart-stopping fantasy romance about a young woman named Violet Sorrengail. Violet thinks she has her whole life figured out until her mother, General Lilith Sorrengail, sends her to die.
Violet may have lived in Basgiath War College for most of her life, but she never actually took any of the classes. Therefore, when sent on this perilous journey, she has no idea what is coming other than certain death. Especially, when she tries to ride the most dangerous creature known to man: a dragon, and her family’s arch nemesis’ son is the Wingleader.
Xaden Riorson is a mysterious shadow… literally. That shadow finds its way to cast over her like a warm, protective blanket. Why? Violet isn’t so sure.
With the Wingleader leaning more towards Violet, she becomes more confident. Just not with her feelings about this mysterious, yet intriguing man. With war on the horizon and love in the air, will Violet and Xaden fly… or die?
Find out in Iron Flame, the emotional sequel to Fourth Wing.
In addition to the antagonizing ending of Iron Flame, which has fans and readers deeply anticipating the release of Onyx Storm, the series is already predicted to hold the title of best-selling book series for many years to come.
As mentioned above, Onyx Storm will be released on January 21, 2025 (which is today). Not only does the story itself sound amazing, but the cover looks exquisite. The series is sold at Target, Barnes and Noble, and/or on Amazon. Order it now before it’s too late.
The author of the Empyrean Series, Rebecca Yarros, posted this sneak peek quote on her Instagram, “Even you don’t get a say in which parts of us are taken first, Riorson”(Jake Barlowe, Onyx Storm).
The Empyrean series is a total series five-book, so Onyx Storm isn’t the end to Violet and/or Xaden’s tale. Three of the five books will be released and available to the public soon, so take your time reading or you might just be left in suspense.
Along with the release of Onyx Storm, Rebecca announced that she would be partnering up with Amazon MGM studios to make a Fourth Wing TV Series. Although there is no official release date for the show or official cast, it is said it will be streaming on Prime Video.
