As the third book inThe Empyrean Series’publication date gets closer, many atheory aboutOnyx Stormhas been posited by audiences, with Rebecca Yarros posting hints about what to expect on her Instagram.However, audiences know for certain that several beloved characters will not make it through this installmentas the first two books did not hold back.
The deaths of several major characters, including Liam Mairi and General Lillith Sorrengail, ensure that many ofFourth Wing’scharacters will die inOnyx Storm.With the infiltration of the venin into Basgiath and the failing Aretian wards, death will likely follow Violet and her friendsas she races to find a cure for Xaden and a way to stop the venin permanently.

How Fourth Wing Confirmed Jesinia Will Survive The Empyrean Series
Jesinia Is The One Translating The Story
Fourth Wingconfirms that Jesinia will surviveThe Empyrean Seriesthrough its framing device, making her one of the few characters who will be spared inOnyx Storm.Jesinia surviving is not that surprising considering that she is a Scribe and not a Rider,which will keep her out of the majority of the fighting in the series. ThoughJesinia’s story inIron Flamedid put her in some danger, she was already set up to survive from the very first page ofFourth Wing,ensuring her safety in this and future installments.
The Empyrean Series' Title May Have Given Away Violet’s Greatest Power Ahead Of Onyx Storm
Yarros named her best-selling fantasy series after the governing body of dragons in Navarre, and this could be a clue to Violet’s greatest power.
The framing device ofFourth WingandThe Empyrean Seriesat large is that Jesinia is translating Violet’s story as the Curator of the Scribe Quadrant, revealing that she does end up surviving through the book’s events. Her translations of this information also showcase that she could have had a hand in restructuring the Scribe Quadrant, which had been a part of the censorship efforts Bagiath employed regarding the venin. Even with that reassurance and possibly bright future, however, Jesinia’s story inOnyx Stormis set to be a tumultuous one as she attempts to aid Violet and her friends.
Things Still Don’t Look Good For Jesinia In Onyx Storm

While Jesinia will be safe from death inOnyx Stormand beyond, her arc is still set to be quite rough due to the circumstances surrounding her.As mentioned, the venin have infiltrated the Scribe Quadrant, which puts Jesinia in some danger as she and the other Scribes are unable to tell friend from foein many cases due to their power. Violet may be able to save Jesinia if a venin attacks her, but she may suffer injury at the venin’s hands, imperiling her regardless of the framing device.
Ultimately, Jesinia’s story inOnyx Stormwill likely be painful as she watches her friends risk their lives, making her ending a bit more bittersweet.
Jesinia’s romance with Sawyeris also set to feature some hardship, as Sawyer’s injury inIron Flamecould prove to be too physically or emotionally overwhelming for him, causing her pain by proxy.In a similar vein, any new losses and injuries of Violet and the Iron Squad will also harm her emotionally as she has grown closer to themduring the first two books.
