This 2025 Romantasy Is The Ultimate Fourth Wing & Game of Thrones Mashup You Can’t Miss

In the realm of fantasty literature, there are numerous books resembling “Romantasy” and even “Fourth Wing,” but it can be challenging to find stories with human-creature relationships as rich as those in “The Empyrean Series’ dragons and their riders.” Fortunately, a 2025 release manages to satisfy this craving – it’s the ideal blend of “Fourth Wing” and “Game of Thrones.” Remarkably, despite the shared theme of magical creatures, this novel does not revolve around dragons, as one might expect given its connection to these two fantasy novels. Instead, it focuses on compelling magical bonds between characters and another type of creature.

As a dedicated cinema enthusiast, I can’t help but sing praises for “Fourth Wing.” This book is brimming with captivating features that make it stand out, such as a fierce heroine, a heart-pounding romance, an exhilarating plot, and a dash of the unexpected. It might lean more towards romance than the high fantasy realm of “A Game of Thrones,” but if you’re yearning for a blend of romance and fantasy like the direwolves from the “Song of Ice and Fire” books, then “Direbound” by Sabel Sorensen is your perfect remedy to satiate that craving for “romantasy.

Direbound Is The Perfect Fourth Wing Replacement If You Love Game Of Thrones’ Direwolves

The Book’s Characters Are Connected To The Creatures, Just Like Dragons & Their Riders

The book titled “Direbound” has been gaining popularity since its release in February 2025, and it’s often being likened to the book “Fourth Wing.” This is due to their shared narrative theme: both stories feature a main character who embarks on a journey filled with trials, ultimately bonding with a mystical creature – a direwolf in “Direbound” and a dragon in “Fourth Wing.” In essence, the storylines of these two books share striking similarities.

Readers who enjoyed the bond between riders and dragons in “The Empyrean Series” will find “Direbound” an appealing sequel to dive into next. Given its inclusion of direwolves, fans of Game of Thrones might be particularly drawn, especially those yearning for more depictions of the Starks’ direwolves in both the written books and television series. Now would be an opportune moment to start reading Sorensen’s 2025 novel, as the story resumes soon, providing you with a chance to catch up before it continues.

This means fans won’t have a long wait to find out what happens next, as “Direbound” ends on a cliffhanger, similar to Rebecca Yarros’ “Fourth Wing” novels. Readers who enjoy this ‘romantasy’ series will be pleased to know that reading “Direbound” and “Furybound” in quick succession will still leave them anticipating the final installment, which currently doesn’t have a release date.
