"Amazon's 2024 Second Best-Seller Released This Week"

by Chloe Mar 31,2025

Among the standout titles on Amazon's best sellers list for 2024, one that has captured the attention of readers worldwide is the latest addition to the Empyrean series: Onyx Storm. Released just this week, it follows the viral success of the first book in the series, Fourth Wing, by Rebecca Yarros. The series' rise to fame is largely attributed to its popularity on BookTok, a segment of TikTok dedicated to book lovers, similar to how Colleen Hoover's It Ends With Us gained fame in 2022 and was eventually adapted into a movie.

Why Is The Empyrean Series So Popular?

Now Available: Onyx Storm (Standard Edition)The Empyrean series' success can be credited not only to its viral spread on TikTok but also to its compelling plot and genre. Having read Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, I can attest to their addictive nature. The series combines elements reminiscent of the Harry Potter series, the romance of Twilight, and the dragon lore of the Inheritance Cycle, creating a blend that feels both familiar and refreshingly new.

Another significant factor contributing to the series' popularity is its bold inclusion of graphic sexual content. What starts as a seemingly typical young adult fantasy quickly evolves into an intense, steamy narrative that maintains its momentum throughout. This mix of epic fantasy, romance, and dragons seems to perfectly cater to what readers are seeking.
