I want to give a HUGE shout-out to my critique partner, Lia Riley. Poor girl read many early renditions of this story until I got it right. Special thanks to Lauren Layne, A.J. Pine, and Megan Erickson for your insightful beta reads. Major thank-you to my production team: Laura Ownbey, Martha Trachtenberg, Shelley Bates, Rebecca Weston, Arran McNicol, Alyssa Kress, Ana R. for the cover, and Ke for the super-cool Tirnan fantasy map at the beginning of the book. And last but not least, I want to thank Blanca A. for her Spanish curse word tutelage. Mateo’s dialog wouldn’t have been the same without it.
