Onyx Storm Ending: Rebecca Yarros on Book 4, Fourth Wing TV Series – Variety

One of the most highly anticipated book releases of 2025 is set for next week, less than a month into the new year: “Onyx Storm,” the latest sequel to Rebecca Yarros’ wildly popular 2023 romantasy hit “Fourth Wing.” From Entangled Publishing’s Red Tower Books, the books follow Violet Sorrengail, a student at Basgiath War College who becomes a dragon rider.

“Onyx Storm,” the third installment in Yarros’ five-book plan for her “The Empyrean” series, will land on shelves Jan. 21, two days after the potential TikTok ban goes into place in the U.S. The connection between the two might not be apparent to those outside “#BookTok,” the large community of (mostly women) readers who create content on TikTok.

But the immense impact TikTok, owned by Beijing-based ByteDance, has had on the publishing industry over the past five years cannot be denied, for it’s #BookTok that is largely responsible for the massive attention and subsequent success seen by “Fourth Wing,” along with dozens of other romance and fantasy novels that have landed on the New York Times bestseller list.

The Rise of #BookTok

Popular on Morningpicker, there’s been a similar effect in Hollywood, where the latest craze is grabbing up the rights to the hottest #BookTok title, including “Fourth Wing,” which is set up as a TV series at Amazon.

Now the book industry is bracing itself for a week of frenzy surrounding Yarros’ release of “Onyx Storm” (an event eagerly anticipated by readers since “Fourth Wing’s” first sequel, “Iron Flame,” left them with a massive cliffhanger in November 2023) and how best to manage both in-person events and online marketing plans at a time when one of its best ways to communicate with customers is in peril.

Managing the Risks

Entangled Publishing is preparing for the worst-case scenario, with senior director of book strategy and customer experience, Shannon DeVito, telling Morningpicker that a TikTok ban wouldn’t necessarily affect their in-person events, but it would “change the conversation around the book release and where people decide to talk about the book.”

DeVito notes that even if TikTok is banned, readers will find other ways to communicate and discuss the book, such as making Instagram Reels or using Bluesky. “But we still have social tags planned and in place,” she says. “It is set for TikTok right now, unless the ban goes through. And then it’s also for all of Instagram, which is where a lot of the info is for us, specifically.”

According to DeVito, more than 300 of the approximately 650 total Barnes & Noble locations have their own TikTok accounts. The stores create and post much of their own content separate from the main Barnes & Noble account and also are responsible for their in-store marketing of #BookTok titles in displays.

The Impact on Barnes & Noble

DeVito doesn’t anticipate an immediate impact to how the stores handle the potential shutdown, given that #BookTok is a firmly established and recognizable branding tool. “It’s not gonna be an overnight ‘It’s gone!’ because it was five years of people finding a lot of books that trend and move,” DeVito says.

The bookselling will likely take care of itself next week, at least, as midnight-release parties are sold out at Barnes & Noble locations across the country, including a 500-person event at The Grove in Los Angeles that will feature author Yarros herself.

DeVito says Barnes & Noble is prepared to shift plans if need be due to the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles, but the event is not currently impacted. “Our main priority always, first and foremost, is booksellers’ safety and making sure booksellers who have homes in those areas or need support have that support,” DeVito says.

The Future of #BookTok

While the future of #BookTok is uncertain, one thing is clear: the platform has had a profound impact on the publishing industry. As DeVito notes, “The #BookTok tables are store-led, so they can decide if they want to take it down or put it up. But we’ll kind of just take it on a day-by-day basis, as we do with all the book-selling.”

The question on everyone’s mind is what will happen next week when “Onyx Storm” hits shelves. Will readers turn out in droves to celebrate the latest installment in the “Fourth Wing” series? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the world of #BookTok is about to get a whole lot more interesting.

    • More than 300 Barnes & Noble locations have their own TikTok accounts.
      • The stores create and post much of their own content separate from the main Barnes & Noble account.
        • The in-store marketing of #BookTok titles in displays is also store-led.
