Avalanche Journal: Anticipation Builds for 'Fourth Wing' Night Featuring Rebecca Yarros
Brock Nelson first discovered Violet Sorrengail while browsing a bookstore in Toronto with former New York Islanders teammate Matt Martin. Scott Wedgewood became captivated by the world-building and dragon-riding romantic fantasy of "Fourth Wing" during a drive from Michigan to Denver.
More than 2,500 fans purchased special tickets for "Fourth Wing" night Thursday at Ball Arena to celebrate Rebecca Yarros’ debut novel in the "Empyrean" series. Yarros, a Colorado Springs resident and hockey mom, is expected to be a key part of the event.
“I’m pumped for that night, the jersey, having Rebecca there,” said Nelson. “I’m hoping I get to meet her. It’s cool to have that connection now. Last year, someone told me the author of ‘Fourth Wing’ was at one of our games—I had no idea. Then I saw 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 her husband, an East Coast native, grew up a fan of the Rangers. They attended a game in Denver last season when the idea of her throwing out the first pitch at Fenway Park was discussed.
