ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 

 

This book would not exist without the help and encouragement of my early readers: Dom Camus, Molly Price, Matt Johnson, Masie Cochran, Sara Phillips, Maike Bokkers, Rebecca Josephsen, and Monique McDade. Thank you so much. 

Credit for the arresting, breathtaking cover art goes to Jessie Bennett, a genius in every medium. 

And the romantic hero of this story—of all my stories—is Sam Phillips, my own and only hacker knight.
