Rebecca Yarros fans gathered at Barnes & Noble Union Square in New York City for the midnight release party of her latest novel, “Onyx Storm.” The event, which saw over 500 readers countdown to the book’s release, marked a return to the popular midnight release parties that were once a staple of the publishing industry.
Entangled Publishing, Yarros’ publisher, had planned over 1,100 release events across the US and Canada to match the fan fervor for the series. The event included activities such as dragon-themed friendship bracelets, “Empyrean” series trivia, and temporary tattoos from local artists.
Fans were eagerly awaiting the release of “Onyx Storm,” which is the highly anticipated follow-up to “Fourth Wing” and “Iron Flame.” The novel promises to deliver expansive world-building, steamy romance scenes, and female empowerment. Readers are excited to learn more about Violet, Xaden, and other characters on The Continent.
The midnight release party was a welcome distraction for many fans, who were also following the inauguration. Fans expressed their gratitude to Yarros for providing an escape through her writing.
Entangled Publishing has taken steps to avoid repeat misprints from the previous “Iron Flame” release, including developing deeper relationships with printers and distributors. The limited edition deluxe hardcover of “Onyx Storm” features sprayed edges with a dragon design and is available while supplies last.
The event was a testament to the enduring popularity of romantasy novels and the dedicated fan base that Yarros has built. With over 400 release events for the previous novel, “Iron Flame,” Entangled Publishing aimed to match the fan fervor for this new release.
