  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nBookTok fans, this isn't a drill: **Rebecca Yarros** has started working on **_Fourth Wing_** book 4! A couple weeks ago (on January 23, 2026, to be specific), Yarros shared that she was getting close to starting the fourth book in the series and that time has finally arrived. \"In the next few (hopefully couple) weeks, I’ll be back in the Empyrean world for the foreseeable future!\" she says on **Instagram**. \"Book 4’s playlist is simmering and I’m almost ready for the index cards and plot board. Don’t worry, everyone in Navarre is still alive. For now. 😉\"\n\nI've done all the research and compiled everything you need to know about the **Empyrean series** ' next installment so that you can focus on what's important: rereading all the _Fourth Wing_ books until the new one hits shelves ;).\n\n* * *\n\n## Keep reading for the latest update on the _Empyrean_ series and _Fourth Wing_ book 4.\n\n### What is the plot of Fourth Wing book 4?\n\n\n\n\nOkay so there's no real answer to this question yet because yesterday, February 8, Rebecca Yarros shared that she started plotting for the fourth book. So the author herself doesn't even know the plot yet! \"Feels like a great day to start a stack of index cards. 😉\" she says on **Instagram**.\n\nBut (spoiler!!) at the end of _Onyx Storm_ , everyone finds out Xaden is venin which means he now has a huge target on his back. So, yeah, book 4 is sure to have some major drama from the very beginning.\n\n### When will Fourth Wing book 4 be released?\n\n\n\n\nWe don't have an official release date yet, but considering _Iron Flame_ came out in 2023 and _Onyx Storm_ released in 2025, hopefully we'll be able to start reading _Fourth Wing_ book 4 in 2027.\n\n### How many books are planned for the Fourth Wing series?\n\n\n\n\nThere will be five books total by the time Rebecca Yarros wraps up the Empyrean series. Even though she originally planned three books, she added two more! Here's the breakdown:\n\n  * _**Fourth Wing**_ (2023)\n  * **_Iron Flame_** (2023)\n  * **_Onyx Storm_** (2025)\n  * **Book 4**\n  * **Book 5**\n\n\n\n**Are you as excited for Fourth Wing book 4 as we are?! Tell us what you want to see in the new book onFacebook.**",
