Latest book in series dubbed ‘the new Harry Potter’ is causing social media sensation

The one book series everyone is talking about

Many of us have vowed to read more books this year but how do you find the perfect book?

We're forever picking up novels that fail to catch our attention but there is one book everyone is talking about at the moment.

Our Instagram feeds have been full of people reading the latest Rebecca Yarros novel Onyx Storm.

The author has released another fantasy novel as part of the Empyrean series and people are glued to the new release.

The novel is a follow-up to the bestselling books Fourth Wing and Iron Flame.

Onyx Storm is set to become one of the biggest-selling releases of the year.

It has already hit the #1 spot in the Amazon charts and is expected to become a New York Times bestseller like Yarros' previous two novels in the series.

There is so much hype about the latest release that people are comparing the book series to the Harry Potter novels.

Publisher Little, Brown said the book has become the biggest pre-ordered title since it released the Harry Potter play script in 2016.

What is Onyx Storm about?

'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.'
