A lot of people have given their time to the making of this series, and it’s an undertaking I couldn’t have accomplished alone.

First thanks go to God for making everything possible, not only the words, but the opportunity and privilege.

To my family who support and encourage me always, I love you.

To Dave Lane, I am grateful that you gave me this fabulous opportunity through Evolved Publishing—a wonderful home to an author who appreciates the efforts of a great team. Sue Fairchild, thank you for undertaking this long and arduous journey with me as my editor. Evie and her friends are better and stronger because of you, and so am I. Thanks for you editing insight as well as your quiet spiritual reassurances. And thanks to Richard Tran for developing a series of original and fantastical covers that truly illustrate Evie’s world.

Thanks to Red Adept Editing and Susie D. for adding the polish and shine.

Without Mary Fan, this series would have stuttered and stumbled many more times than it did. Thanks for reading early drafts. Thanks for letting me bounce ideas off you. Thanks for reassuring me that my concepts might actually work. Thanks for helping me refine them.

To the readers who took a chance on Evie from book one, I hope you’ve enjoyed the journey, and thanks for being here with me until the end.
