Warning ! Spoilers forThe Empyrean Series !
Summary
The cover forOnyx Stormmakes me hopeful that we will get a POV I have wanted more of sinceFourth extension . The Empyrean Seriesis largely order through Violet ’s linear perspective . It makes the most sensation as she is the protagonist and is read the ways of the world alongside us throughout . Violet also functions as a great source of data for us as she was trained as a Scribe , allow us quick glance into the world ’s history without slow up the patch down . That being said , Onyx Storm ’s coverseems to suggest at other role joining Violet in the top POV spot .
give birth multiple POVs would be beneficial forOnyx Stormasso many division of Navarre ’s story and current secret plan are still unknown to Violet . Andarna ’s history , Tairn ’s closed book , and many of the schemes of Basigath ’s higher - ups could be showcased in POV chapter for striking gist . But one particular POV that would sincerely make the floor radiate for me could be coming according to the cover .
Onyx Storm ’s cover has at last been revealed , and I ’m feel even more positive in our theories about the upcoming Fourth Wing sequel .

Onyx Storm’s Cover Promises A Greater Focus On Xaden In The Fourth Wing Sequel
Onyx Storm’s Color Scheme And Talk Of Darkness Could Point To Xaden
The color scheme and several mention of darkness on the blanket of the approaching playscript mite at more POV chapter fromXaden inOnyx violent storm . Onyx Storm ’s cover is largely monochrome , with most of the book binding in iniquity . I consider this could be a hint at a direction on Xaden due to his shadow use . The silvery mist could also point to Xaden ’s signet , as it could symbolise his abilities as an inntinnsic that can literally break through the murk and read someone ’s intention .
Not only would Xaden ’s POV supporter answer several burn questions inOnyx violent storm , but it would also deliver some of the moments I have been hoping for sinceFourth Wing .
The book ’s tagline"Brave The Dark"could also refer to Xaden as he brave out his newfound venin nature . Xaden turning venin expand his power and could bedevil his quality further into doubt about his manhood and ability to be kind . Therefore , braving the dark could refer to Xaden ’s POV focusing on his inner conflictas the power test to take over . Not only would Xaden ’s POV help reply severalburning question inOnyx Storm , but it would also render some of the moments I have been go for for sinceFourth Wing .

I Hope Onyx Storm Delivers The Xaden POV Chapters I’ve Wanted Since Fourth Wing
Xaden’s POV Was Featured In The End Chapters Of Both Empyrean Series Books
IfOnyx Stormfeatures Xaden ’s POV , I hope it will give up more of the import I loved inFourth WingandIron Flame . We only get to see Xaden ’s POV duringFourth WingandIron Flame ’s ending . Though we only see it twice , those consequence showcase so much of Xaden ’s love of Violet and his softer machine characteristic , making them some of my favorite chapters . I loved it when Xaden lowered his safeguard , allowing himself to feel that lovemaking and cultism . IfOnyx Stormincludes his POV , it would be awful as we get to see more of Xaden ’s softer side .
ThroughoutFourth Wing , Xaden ’s softer side is well hidden beneath his window dressing , only really being bring out toward the conclusion by Violet ’s bedside . Iron Flamegives us a few more instant of heartsease , but with its closing , that softer side of Xaden may not get demo as often . His POV could permit us see it as he cling to his love for Violet to keep his humanity , improving his character reference further and giving readers some cuter moments . have his POV would also give readers further insight into his mind , specially as his secrets are no longer just his to hold .
Including Xaden’s POV Makes Sense After His Secrets Come Out In Iron Flame
His POV Would Be Symbolic Of His Growing Trust In Violet
Adding Xaden ’s POV toOnyx Stormwould make sense considering that his secret came out inIron Flame , which would allow his POV to become symbolic . Violet and Xaden inIron Flamewere in a troubled place as Xaden ’s secrets ram him to keep her at arm ’s length . Violet ’s discovery of those arcanum showcased both her cleverness and his growing trust in her , cementing their connection afterFourth Wing ’s initial light . Now that his arcanum are out , Xaden ’s POV could become more prominentto show he has little left to hide from Violet and us readers .
Xaden ’s POV would not only work narratively to give the readers more information . It would also let us see Xaden in his more vulnerable moment , much like Violet did inIron Flameand likely will in next book of account . That exposure and trueness could showcase his desire to rely on others and trust more inOnyx Storm , something he struggled with in the first two installments . Xaden ’s POV could show that he is get a line from those fault , especially as he needs Violet ’s help to heal him of his venin scourge .
Onyx Stormwill be release on January 21 , 2025 .
