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

Avalanche Journal: Fans and Players Celebrate "Fourth Wing" Night

Brock Nelson first discovered Violet Sorrengail while browsing a bookstore in Toronto with his former New York Islanders teammate Matt Martin. Around the same time, Scott Wedgewood was captivated by the intricate world-building and dragon-riding romance of the popular "Fourth Wing" series during his drive from Michigan to Denver.

More than 2,500 fans bought special tickets for the "Fourth Wing" night held Thursday at Ball Arena, celebrating Rebecca Yarros’ debut novel in the "Empyrean" series. The excitement extended beyond the fans to players eager to meet Yarros, a Colorado Springs resident and hockey mom.

“I’m pumped for that night, the jersey, having Rebecca there. I’m hoping I get to meet her. It’s cool to have that connection now,” Nelson said. “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 is dedicated Avalanche supporters, despite Rebecca's husband being an East Coast native and Rangers fan. Last season, they attended a game in Denver where the topic of her throwing the first pitch at Fenway Park was mentioned.
