The Empyrean series has been my guilty pleasure since I first read Fourth Wing. Rebecca Yarros's approach to weaving together fantasy, romance, and character development makes it one of the best romantasy reads out there. The series has been extremely popular at Amazon's Kindle store all year long with the release of the third book, Onyx Storm, but it's also sold extremely well in terms of physical book sales.
If you're like me and chose to devour these novels via reading tablet, you'll be happy to know that the special edition hardcover versions are currently part of the 'Buy 2, Get 1 Free' sale at Amazon ahead of Black Friday. The Wing and Claw collection includes beautiful stenciled edges that bring a striking visual element to each book.
Fourth Wing Books Sale at Amazon Today
If you aren't familiar with how Amazon's "3 for 2" sale actually works, it's fairly simple to explain. All you need to do is add all three of these books to your cart and Amazon will automatically discount the price of the cheapest one when you go to check out. So in this case if you were to buy all three of the Wing and Claw editions in the Empyrean series, you'd save an additional $21.39 on top of the already discounted prices. This means you can get the full hardcover collection for only $49.06 while this sale lasts.
There is some weirdness with how the Wing and Claw collection was released. Onyx Storm was released back in January 2025 (alongside the special edition), but the rest of the series hadn't received the Wing and Claw treatment yet. It wasn't until September that both Fourth Wing and Iron Flame received a Wing and Claw edition. So for those of you who purchased Onyx Storm at launch and are looking to complete your set, this sale is a great opportunity. You'll just need to buy a third book from the sale to take advantage of this promotion.
What is the Empyrean Series about?
The story follows Violet Sorrengail, a seemingly fragile young girl who has been forced by her powerful mother to enter the very dangerous academy of dragon riders. As she finds ways to overcome her weaknesses and survive, Violet must also battle her own complex emotions about her mother, her old friend, and a boy she thinks wants nothing more than to see her dead. All the while, there's more going on with the dragons and her world than meets the eye, and she finds herself at the center of it all whilst in the heat of an epic romance.
Amazon is planning on bringing Fourth Wing to the screen after the success of the books and a TV series is already in the works for Prime Video.
Should you wait for Black Friday to buy?
We're only halfway through November, so there are still plenty of Black Friday sales on the horizon. And those sales are arriving quickly. Amazon recently announced that its own Black Friday sale will be kicking off on Thursday, November 20 this year and will include book deals up to 65% off. As for what book deals will be included in that sale, we are still in the dark. So with that in mind, this early book promotion is absolutely worth taking advantage of before Black Friday truly begins.
While it's certainly possible that retailers will reduce the prices of the Fourth Wing books individually, it's unlikely that those discounts will be as steep as getting an entire book for free. If you only want to buy one of these books, It's probably worth waiting, but if you're going to buy the full collection then right now is the best time to do so.
