I’m lucky to have a wonderful team of people backing me. For starters, I have the best beta readers! Thank you to Amy Nguyen, Sarah Gibson, Barbara Hamm, Sara Ehrlich, Liz Perez, Renea Hoff, and Will Looij for pointing out pacing problems and character inconsistencies that I missed in my edits.
To my powerhouse editing team, Carrie Andrews and Amanda Zeier, thank you for catching all the mistakes my eyes passed right over; this book is so much more shiny because of you two!
Thank you to my mom, Teri Chastain, for naming the dryads’ grove. Now I can’t imagine it as anything other than Emerald Crown Grove.
Will Looij, thank you for giving the gryphon rider her name. The moment I saw your suggestion, I knew Raquel was the perfect fit.
Of course, thank you, Cody, for you unflagging faith and support. I couldn’t do this without you—nor would I want to.
