The Empyrean series has soared to the top of the literary charts, propelled by its distinctive premise and a viral boost from TikTok. "Fourth Wing," the inaugural book of the series, has consistently dominated Amazon's best-sellers list since 2023. The buzz around the series has only intensified with the upcoming release of "Onyx Storm" by Rebecca Yarros, which secured the second spot in Amazon's preorders for 2024.
"Onyx Storm" is set to hit the shelves on Tuesday, January 21, and Amazon is currently offering discounted preorders. For those yet to dive into the series, the first two books, "Fourth Wing" and "Iron Flame," are available for free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription, but only for a limited time.
Hardcover and Kindle versions of the standard edition are available at a discount. The hardcover is priced at $29.99, now reduced to $20.98, while the Kindle version is marked down from $29.99 to $14.99.

Before embarking on the Empyrean series, a friend likened "Fourth Wing" to "the Harry Potter books, but with dragons." While this comparison holds true initially, the series soon veers into a territory reminiscent of the Twilight saga. It's a magical, fantasy romance that delves deeply into graphic details.
The narrative follows Violet Sorrengail, a seemingly delicate young woman coerced by her influential mother into attending a perilous academy for dragon riders. As Violet navigates her vulnerabilities and strives to survive, she grapples with her feelings toward her mother, an old friend, and a boy she suspects wants her dead. Amidst this, the dragons and her world harbor secrets that place Violet at the heart of an unfolding epic romance.
The first two books of the Empyrean series, "Fourth Wing" and "Iron Flame," are currently accessible for free through the Kindle app with a Kindle Unlimited subscription. Seize the opportunity to immerse yourself in the series by logging into your Kindle account and downloading these titles before they're no longer included in your subscription.
