The Empyrean series has taken the literary world by storm, with the latest installment, Onyx Storm, released earlier this year propelling all three books to the top of Amazon's Kindle best sellers list for 2025. The series' meteoric rise began with the 2023 release of Fourth Wing, which gained massive popularity on Booktok. Since then, Rebecca Yarros' romantasy saga has consistently dominated best seller charts, captivating readers with its perfect blend of fantasy and romance.

The viral nature of Yarros' writing has attracted a diverse readership, and the release of Onyx Storm has brought even more fans into the fold. With a Fourth Wing TV series now greenlit at Amazon, the Empyrean series is poised to potentially surpass the Harry Potter franchise in popularity if it continues to play its cards right.

Not only does the Empyrean series dominate the Kindle charts, but it also ranks among Amazon's top-selling physical books for 2025. Both the deluxe and standard editions of Onyx Storm are within the top 10, while Fourth Wing remains in the top 25. The series' momentum has only been slightly checked by the release of Suzanne Collins' new Hunger Games book, which has nudged Onyx Storm to the second spot on the fiction list. However, with more readers discovering the series through Fourth Wing, we might see Onyx Storm reclaim the top position before the end of 2025.
