Avalanche Journal: Excitement Builds for 'Fourth Wing' Night
Brock Nelson first encountered Violet Sorrengail while browsing a bookstore in Toronto with former New York Islanders teammate Matt Martin. Similarly, Scott Wedgewood became captivated by the dragon-riding romantasy world of Fourth Wing during a drive from Michigan to Denver.
Over 2,500 fans purchased special tickets for “Fourth Wing” night at Ball Arena on Thursday, eager to celebrate Rebecca Yarros’ debut novel in the Empyrean series.
Local Author and Hockey Mom
Rebecca Yarros, a Colorado Springs resident and hockey mom, will be a highlight of the event. Nelson expressed his enthusiasm:
“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. 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.”
