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

Avalanche Journal: Excitement Builds for Rebecca Yarros at ‘Fourth Wing’ Night

Brock Nelson first discovered Violet Sorrengail while browsing a bookstore in Toronto with former New York Islanders teammate Matt Martin. Meanwhile, Scott Wedgewood became captivated by the dragon-riding romantasy world of Fourth Wing during a drive from Michigan to Denver.

More than 2,500 fans purchased special tickets for “Fourth Wing” night held Thursday at Ball Arena, eagerly anticipating a celebration of Rebecca Yarros’ debut novel in the Empyrean series. The enthusiasm extends beyond the fans, as Yarros, a Colorado Springs resident and hockey mom, is also a highlight of the evening.

“I’m pumped for that night, the jersey, having Rebecca there,” said Brock Nelson. “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 is devoted to the Avalanche, although Rebecca’s husband, a native of the East Coast, grew up a Rangers fan. They attended a game in Denver last season when the topic of her throwing out the first pitch at Fenway Park came up.

Summary

Rebecca Yarros’ unique connection to the Avalanche community and her popular novel Fourth Wing has created excitement among fans and players alike for the special event at Ball Arena.
