The Empyrean series has taken the literary world by storm, with the latest release, *Onyx Storm*, earlier this year propelling all three books to the top of Amazon's Kindle best sellers list for 2025. The series gained significant traction with the release of *Fourth Wing* in 2023, largely thanks to the influence of Booktok. Since then, Rebecca Yarros' romantasy series has captivated readers, dominating bestseller charts with its perfect blend of fantasy and romance.

The viral success of *Onyx Storm* has attracted a wave of new readers to the series, highlighting the widespread appeal of Yarros' storytelling. With Amazon greenlighting a TV series based on *Fourth Wing*, the Empyrean series has the potential to surpass even the Harry Potter franchise in popularity, provided it capitalizes on this momentum effectively.

While the Empyrean series rules the Kindle charts, it also holds a strong position on Amazon's top-selling physical books list for 2025. Both the deluxe and standard editions of *Onyx Storm* are within the top 10, with *Fourth Wing* maintaining its spot in the top 25. The only book to challenge *Onyx Storm*'s dominance is the new release from Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games series, yet with more readers discovering the Empyrean series through *Fourth Wing*, the rankings could shift again before the year ends.
