To all of the people at Macmillan and Feiwel & Friends who have helped make magic a reality. To Holly, for being a rock-star editor and helping me find the story I wanted to tell. To Morgan, for being the best publicist and always throwing exciting things my way. To Liz and Yehrin for creating a masterpiece of a cover! To Kaitlin, Jessica, and Starr, and to everyone else on the team who played a part in making this book, this series, great. I appreciate you all so much!

To everyone at Bonnier Books and Hot Key Books, my fellow UK crew! You guys are the best and I’m so grateful for all of your hard work, your vision, and your endless enthusiasm for all the stories I throw your way. Thank you, thank you, thank you. To Fliss, to Carla, to Lizz, to Isobel, to every single person who has brought so much laughter and positivity to this whole experience! And to Tina, who I hope to get to work with again someday.

Of course, how could I finish with anything else but a thanks to YOU. Dear reader. Dear friend. Dear person who picked this book up, cracked its pages, and dove straight in, headfirst, ready to be swallowed by adventure.

I created this world for you. I hope you loved it.

I hope it helped you find the magic you have inside of yourself.

When she’s not busy making up stories, she can be found organizing food crawls over London and binge-watching Korean dramas. Alexandra has a BA in creative writing and currently lives in England with an abundance of cacti (because they’re the only plants she can keep alive).
