Struggling to keep track of all the Fourth Wing signets? I read the book twice, and I’m here to help! Below, I share a quick reading guide separated in a table by character, signet, and notes so you can easily read and theorize what’s next in the Fourth Wing series by Rebecca Yarros. There are spoilers. Let’s clarify all the magical powers in this popular, but very detailed fantasy book.
The Meaning of Fourth Wing Signets
What is a signet?
In Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, a signet combines a dragon’s power with his or her rider’s ability to channel. It reflects who the rider is at the core of his or her being. It is the strongest skill created by the bond. The stronger the bond and the more powerful the dragon is, the stronger the rider’s signet. A rider manifests a signet when his or her dragon is ready to trust him or her with the power.
