Explained simply
Rebecca Yarros’s Empyrean series is a fantasy story that begins with Fourth Wing, following Violet Sorrengail as she enters a demanding school where riders train to bond with dragons. The books combine military training, danger and romance, and have built a large readership.
The graphic novels retell the books in comic form, using artwork and dialogue to present the story. Yarros is also writing other fiction and a collection of short stories, while a television adaptation is in development at Amazon.
The series is planned to have five books, but the publication date for the fourth has not been announced. The graphic novels and screen adaptation offer other ways for readers to revisit the story while waiting for more of the main series.
