OK, it's not actually Threshing Day, but Tuesday is the day Rebecca Yarros released her new "Fourth Wing" book titled "Threshing Day." No, it's not book four in the "Empyrean" series, which readers have been anxiously awaiting since "Onyx Storm" was released in 2025. It's a collection of the stories of riders from the "Fourth Wing" universe on their Threshing Days, when they bond with their dragons in their first year of training at Basgiath War College. Protagonist Violet Sorrengail doesn't have a story in the collection, as her Threshing Day appeared in "Fourth Wing."
