Rebecca Yarros burst onto the literary scene in 2023 with her instant New York Times bestseller, Fourth Wing. She quickly became a titan of the “romantasy” genre alongside the likes of Sarah J Maas and Carissa Broadbent.
Her Empyrean series is set in a fantasy world of dragons and magic and centres on cadets in military training at a college, drawing comparisons with nostalgic titles like Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. By blending the best romantasy themes (think enemies-to-lovers storylines, depictions of otherworlds, brutal war and found-family), the series has gained the author a legion of loyal fans on TikTok.
