As we all wait for January 21, 2025 to arrive so we all finally read the third book in the Empyrean series, Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros, we now have a book blurb. And the promotion for this book is insane as voice actor Michael Eok was hired to read the book blurb on Good Morning America!

After the huge success of the first two books in the series, Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, it makes sense why publisher Entangled’s imprint Red Tower Books is going all out. Everyone at Entanged is going to be behind marketing this novel as it will most likely shatter numerous records when it is finally released.

We will cover that when it happens here but you are here for the book blurb for Onyx Storm and let’s get to it. Eok narrates most of the book blurb in the video but now it is out on every available platform and it promises and epic third novel. You can read it all below!

“After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty.

Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust.

Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves—her dragons, her family, her home, and him.

Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything.

They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find—the truth.

But a storm is coming…and not everyone can survive its wrath.”

As many fans guessed, the third novel will explore new lands that were hinted at in the first two books. The world of Empyrean keeps on growing and Yarros will definitely have a few surprises as always.

I am curious as to what the big secret is but it most likely involves Violet and Xaden. Fourth Wing was an incredible novel and I could not put the novel down. But that magic didn’t translate to Iron Flame for me. The second novel was released about 6 months after Fourth Wing and could have been rushed. But I am glad that Yarros took her time with this novel and it leads to it being a better novel as a result.

What did you think of Onyx Storm’s book blurb? Now we finally have an idea of what the book will be about and ponder some of the mysteries that the blurb reveals. With just a few months away, Onyx Storm is almost upon us and we can’t wait to dive into this novel as soon as possible!
