Rebecca Yarros

Rebecca Yarros is such an interesting author because she actually came from a military family. Her background really shines through in the discipline and grit she gives her characters. She spent years writing contemporary romance novels before she truly took over the world with her blockbuster fantasy series, The Empyrean, which started with Fourth Wing. She is a mother of six and has a real passion for supporting military families through her nonprofit organization, One October. People really love how she balances intense, high-stakes action with really deep, emotional romantic tension.
