Celaena has survived deadly contests and shattering heartbreak-but at an unspeakable cost. Now, she must travel to a new land to confront her darkest truth . . . a truth about her heritage that could change her life-and her future-forever.

Meanwhile, brutal and monstrous forces are gathering on the horizon, intent on enslaving her world. Will Celaena find the strength to not only fight her inner demons, but to take on the evil that is about to be unleashed?

Sarah J. Maas is the #1 bestselling author of the Throne of Glass, Court of Thorns and Roses, and Crescent City series. Her books have sold millions of copies and are published in thirty-eight languages.

Despite the popularity of the Throne of Glass series and the individual book "Heir of Fire," there is no confirmed or ongoing TV series adaptation currently underway. In the past, there were reports of Mark Gordon and his company, Mark Gordon Co, optioning the rights to the Throne of Glass series for a TV series, with Hulu and Disney-ABC Domestic Television involved.

Ultimately, the rights to create a TV series from the Throne of Glass books were returned to the author, indicating that no official adaptation was ever produced. While there have been numerous fan-made adaptations and ideas for a Throne of Glass TV series, they are not official projects.

All Fan Casts are purely fun & fictional

*EPISODE CONTAINS SERIES SPOILERS!!!*

After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty. Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust. Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves—her dragons, her family, her home, and him. Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything. They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find—the truth. But a storm is coming...and not everyone can survive its wrath.

Onyx Storm is the third book in Rebecca Yarros's Empyrean series, which is planned to include five books.

Large scale bookstores such as Barnes and Nobel & Books A Million held events to celebrate the book's widely anticipated release. Some readers attended in full cosplay of their favorite characters-- much like the days we (me) Millennials would attend release parties for Harry Potter & Twilight. A good sign for the Empyrean series's potential as a franchise!

In the first week following its publication, Onyx Storm sold 2.7 million copies, surpassing any other adult novel in the previous 20 years.

Yarros announced a book tour, that begin in LA on January 20, 2025, and ended in Denver on February 2. On thour, many questions were posed about the ending and the upcoming TV adaption, including who she would want cast as Violet and Xaden. Yarros declined to comment her choices and believe the creative team know what they are doing. Heres hoping!

Yarros is still set to executive produce the series with Liz Pelletier, the founder of Entangled Publishing, and Liz Raposo, the president of Michael B. Jordan’s Outlier Society. Yarros is not set to have any writing credits in the series and the series has yet to announce a cast.
