Struggling to keep track of all the Onyx Storm signets? I’m here to help! Below, I share a quick reading guide separated in a table by character, signet, and notes (including important signet facts from prior books) so you can easily read and theorize what’s next in the Empyrean series by Rebecca Yarros.

More Important Notes About Signets
The last time a shadow and lightning wielder fought side by side (like Xaden and Violet) was during the Great War, when they drove the venin back into the Barrens for a few hundred years. (Kindle edition p. 84)
Cat Cordella has a gift of amplifying emotions, but as a gryphon flier, she can’t produce a signet. Nor can she wield behind the wards. This is referenced briefly in Onyx Storm and is explained in more detail in Iron Flame.
As a reminder from Iron Flame, second signets only happen when a dragon bonds a rider in the direct familial line as its previous rider. Also note that all characters with second signets thus far, except Violet, wear the Rebellion Relic.
