The much-anticipated third book in Rebecca Yarros’ enthralling Empyrean Series, release date is January 21, 2025. This is the official, confirmed release date.
Rebecca Yarros made the short announcement on the TV Show Good Morning America and revealed not just the release date but the title of the new, 3rd book.
She said, book 3 in the Empyrean Series is called “Onyx Storm”.
Pre-orders for the book are open as of now, so head to Amazon or your favourite bookshop to get your hands on the 3rd book. There is also the Onyx Storm – Deluxe Limited Edition Hard Cover that’s also available for pre-order.
We are eagerly following any updates on the 3rd book and will update this article as soon as we have any news.
Why was the release date of the 3rd book pushed back from December 2024?
Rebecca Yarros said last year, during an interview:
“I’m respecting my limitations […] so that I can be healthy through all of it. So it’s going to write a little slower. But I have a release date, I just can’t tell you yet.”

Following the thrilling ride that was ‘Iron Flame’ in November 2023, fans have been champing at the bit for more. But, hold your dragons! Yarros, in a candid revelation, has shared that she’s pumping the brakes a tad, citing the all-too-familiar writer’s burnout. A year-long wait may seem torturous, but hey, good things come to those who wait, right?
Predictions for Book 3 Empyrean Series
I have plenty of predictions for book 3 and new theories too! Now, let’s talk about what’s eating every fan alive – the cliffhanger from Iron Flame. It was the sort of jaw-dropper that left us reeling, our minds buzzing with theories and what-ifs. The biggest burning question on everyone’s lips is: What’s the deal with Violet’s second signet? And who is THE General?
And then there’s Xaden. Oh, Xaden! Where will his journey take him in the next instalment? This character has been through the wringer, and it’s anyone’s guess what twists and turns lie ahead for him.
But perhaps the most intriguing enigma of all is Andarna, the dragon with more secrets than a royal treasury. What type of dragon is she? What’s the history of her line? These are the questions that have been keeping us up at night, tossing and turning in a sea of possibilities.
Book 3 Title – Confirmed
The title of the 3rd book has been announced: “Onyx Storm”.
I have theorised that the title of the book 3 will have something to do with Violet’s mysterious second signet or the cool abilities of Andarna. It’s like we all know these two elements – Violet’s signet and Andarna’s powers – are key to the story, and the title will give us a juicy hint about what’s next.

As we all collectively deal with the hangover from Iron Flame, it’s time to start piecing together our theories. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a newcomer to the series, there’s no denying the pull of Yarros’ storytelling. Her ability to weave a narrative that’s as rich as it is riveting is nothing short of magical.
Mark your calendars and start the countdown for January 21, 2025. This new release date gives us ample time to reread the first two books and get our tin foil hats on. Who knows? Maybe by then, we’ll have cracked some of these mysteries wide open. Until then, keep theorising, keep guessing, and most importantly, keep the excitement alive!
