Fans celebrated its release with midnight parties, showcasing the growing trend of romantasy—a genre fusing fantasy and romance. Centered on dragon rider Violet Sorrengail, the series captivates readers with mythical themes, romance, and intense encounters. The growing popularity of this genre has significantly impacted publishing, leading to record sales for major publishers, particularly Bloomsbury, and driving renewed interest in fantasy-themed literature.
"Onyx Storm, the third book in Rebecca Yarros's The Empyrean series, is the fastest selling adult novel in 20 years, selling over 2.7m copies in its first week."
"Romantasy has exploded in popularity in recent years and has become lucrative for publishers, with Bloomsbury announcing the highest sales year ever due to series like Acotar."
