Picture this: you're strapped to a dragon's back, wind howling as wards crumble and betrayal lurks in every shadow. That's the heart-pounding world of Onyx Storm, the third unbridged audiobook in Rebecca Yarros's Empyrean series, narrated to pull you straight into Violet Sorrengail's chaos.
After eighteen grueling months at Basgiath War College, Violet knows the textbooks are useless now. Enemies press from beyond the walls and fester within ranks, making trust a luxury she can't afford. Navarre teeters on collapse, dragons roar in defiance, and Violet's forced to journey into uncharted territories for allies. Every step tests her lightning-sharp wit, sheer luck, and unyielding strength—all to protect her dragons, family, home, and the man who holds her heart.
She's carrying a secret so colossal it might unravel everything she's fighting for. Navarre needs an army, raw power, ancient magic—and the one truth only Violet can unearth. But a storm brews, fiercer than any dragonfire, and survival isn't guaranteed for all. Listeners rave about the immersive narration that makes you feel the rush of wingbeats, the sting of betrayal, and the thrill of forbidden romance amid apocalyptic stakes.
The Empyrean series hooks you from Fourth Wing (Book 1) through Iron Flame (Book 2) to this explosive third installment—best experienced in order. Perfect for commutes that fly by, workouts fueled by adrenaline, or cozy evenings where you lose track of time. Fantasy lovers get epic world-building with rider-dragon bonds, political intrigue, and steamy tensions that feel real. It's not just a listen; it's an escape that lingers, leaving you hungry for more in this dragon-rider saga.
Whether you're new to Empyrean or riding the hype wave, Onyx Storm delivers the intensity your bookshelf (or playlist) craves. Dive in, hold on tight, and see if you can weather the storm. Your ears deserve this auditory feast—400+ minutes of pure, unfiltered fantasy fire.
