Avalanche Journal: Fans aren’t only ones excited to meet Rebecca Yarros at ‘Fourth Wing’ night

Avalanche Journal: Fans and Players Excited for 'Fourth Wing' Night with Rebecca Yarros

Brock Nelson discovered Violet Sorrengail while browsing a bookstore in Toronto alongside former New York Islanders teammate Matt Martin. Scott Wedgewood, driving from Michigan to Denver, also became captivated by the dragon-riding romantasy world featured in “Fourth Wing.”

Over 2,500 fans purchased special tickets for “Fourth Wing” night on Thursday at Ball Arena, celebrating Rebecca Yarros’ debut novel in the “Empyrean” series. The event promises excitement not only among fans but also among players eager to meet the Colorado Springs resident and hockey mom.

“I’m pumped for that night, the jersey, having Rebecca there,” Nelson said. “I’m hoping I get to meet her. It’s cool to have that connection now. Last year, I remember somebody was like, ‘Hey, did you see the author of ‘Fourth Wing’ was at one of your games?’ I had no idea. Then I saw that she’s a huge fan. Fast forward to now with ‘Fourth Wing’ night, and it’s pretty cool.”

The Yarros family supports the Avalanche, though Rebecca’s husband, an East Coast native, grew up a Rangers fan. The couple attended a game in Denver last season where the idea of her throwing out the first pitch at Fenway Park was discussed.
