American writer Yaras is one of the biggest names in the booming romance genre.
In anticipation of Onyx Storm’s release, the first two Empyrean books, The Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, have returned to the top of the New York Times Fiction Bestseller List.
They are also currently in the top five of the Sunday Times Paperback Fiction Chart in the UK and were the two most read books worldwide last year among Goodreads users, external.
The Fourth Wing introduced the heroine Violet Sarengale, a 20-year-old woman who undergoes rigorous training to become an elite dragon rider.
Like the author, Violet has a genetic condition that means the character easily dislocates joints and breaks bones – so you have to use your wits and inner strength to help her survive.
She is also linked to another candidate named Xaden Riarson, who comes from a rival family.
Iron Flame is set in Violet’s second year at Basquiat Military College, while in Onyx Storm, according to the publisher, she “knows there’s no more time for classes” because “the battle has truly begun.”
