The next Fourth Wingbook can revive a major aspect of Violet and Xaden's romance, which would acknowledge the harshest reality about The Empyrean Series' main couple dynamic. Onyx Storm's ending left Violet and Xaden in a largely tumultuous place seemingly by their own design, Imogen's final words in the novel hinting that Violet created a plan between the final battle and the book's last chapter. Even so, the two main characters of The Empyrean Series are set to face their worst battle yet without each other as new twists unfold.
