About the Flight & Glory series

Flight & Glory is Rebecca Yarros's debut series and the contemporary-romance foundation her career was built on, years before Fourth Wing made her a phenomenon. Set around West Point and the military, the interconnected novels follow the Sharp/Beckett/Cole extended family and friends through love stories complicated by deployment, PTSD, family duty, and grief — pulling directly on Yarros's own life as a military wife raising a large family. Each book centers a different couple, with earlier couples recurring as the ensemble grows.

Published between 2014 and 2024, the five books established the emotionally intense, high-stakes-romance voice Yarros later carried into The Empyrean, but stayed grounded in contemporary military and family drama rather than fantasy. The Reality of Everything arrived nearly a decade after the first four, closing out the series for the family readers had followed since 2014.
