Thank you to Aconyte Books, and my editor Gwendolyn Nix, for giving me this opportunity, and to Marvel for allowing me to write in your glorious X-Men universe. It’s an absolute privilege to write Dazzler and this magnificent cast of X-Men characters. I hope the fans love reading this story as much as I loved writing it. Thanks also, as always, to my family and friends for all their support, understanding and patience.
