The Empyrean series has surged to the top of the literary charts in recent years, thanks to its innovative storyline and a significant boost from TikTok, where it first gained viral status.

What Is the Empyrean Series About?

A friend recommended "Fourth Wing" to me, describing it as "Like the Harry Potter books, but with dragons." Initially, this comparison held true, but as the story unfolded, it began to mirror the Twilight series more closely. The Empyrean series is a magical, fantasy romance that delves deeply into graphic details.

The narrative centers on Violet Sorrengail, a seemingly delicate young woman coerced by her formidable mother into attending the perilous academy for dragon riders. As Violet navigates her vulnerabilities and strives to survive, she grapples with her feelings towards her mother, an old friend, and a boy she suspects wishes her harm. Beneath the surface, the dragons and her world harbor deeper secrets, placing Violet at the heart of a grand romance and a looming epic.
