To Reese Witherspoon and Bruna Papandrea for being fierce and passionate and the perfect match for this book.
To Kimberly Jaime and Deborah Klein for navigating me through treacherous legal seas.
To Dr. Allan Thexton, a limitless resource for information on castles and medieval arcana and pretty much everything else.
To Tracey Becker, Denise Stewart, Kim Ohanneson, Gemini Adams, Robert Braudt, and the Ron Book Team, the earliest readers.
To all the assistants and editors whom I have not yet met who helped along the way.
And to Lilah, who I hope will approach the world the same way as Evie: with wonder, with strength, and with the knowledge that she is never alone.
