Rebecca Yarros Audiobooks

Rebecca Yarros, born in 1981, is an American author and one of the most talked-about names in modern fantasy. Her reputation rests on the Empyrean series, a success on a scale that has carried it beyond the page: a television adaptation is in development with Amazon, with Yarros attached as a non-writing executive producer.

Her background is quietly bookish for a writer of such commercial firepower: she studied European history and English at Troy University, and that grounding in history and literature sits beneath the world-building her readers obsess over.

Series fantasy is practically engineered for audio – long books, high stakes and momentum that makes listeners miss their stop – and the Empyrean novels have become the benchmark for exactly that. Our catalogue carries Iron Flame and Onyx Storm, and both deliver what the series’ reputation promises: scale, intensity and characters worth arguing about.

A word of guidance for UK listeners: this is a series best taken in order, and at pace. Yarros writes long books that do not feel long, which in audio terms is the highest compliment – the hours simply disappear. If the phenomenon has passed you by so far, consider this the front door.
