First and foremost, I would like to thank each and every one of you. A book, an author is nothing without her readers.
To Magen and Meri, without both of you, this book would not have come to fruition. At least not as it is today. Thank you both for helping edit and grow the kingdom of Etilidus.
To my mom, thank you for all the love and support you've always pushed my way. Even though you're biased, I know that I'll always have a fan in you.
To all of my friends and family who have put up with listening to me talk about my writing and my plans. I know it has been a long (sometimes annoying) journey.
To Sabrina at Enchanted Ink Studios, thank you for the cover. Despite me not having a clear idea of what I wanted, you somehow created exactly what I needed.
About The Author
Shelby Hild
Shelby is a Texas Christian University alumna who holds a B.A. in Writing and has a long-standing obsessive adoration for words and stories. After graduating in 2014, she filled her life with books by taking a job at a used book store and collecting stories from conversations with patrons that she could use as inspiration for her books.
In 2016, Shelby spontaneously signed up for her first trip abroad and began collecting memories and stories of her own. Because that trip was so successful, she now has fallen under the spell of traveling and learning about many different cultures around the world. Using her travels, dreams, and passions as inspiration, Shelby writes tales that sweep readers to far-away lands, with untold adventures awaiting them.
You can follow her adventures, both writing and worldly, on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
