  73. About the Publisher

A demigod and a girl who saved a kingdom when no one else believed there was danger.

Liga flew overhead, and the air above Sora and Daemon lit up with a thousand shooting stars, the celestial project he’d been working on.

And everything was exactly as it should be.

Acknowledgments

This book would not be what it is without an incredible team behind it. Special thanks to my editor, Kristin Rens, and everyone at HarperCollins, especially Caitlin Johnson, Alice Wang, Alison Donalty, Jon Howard, Sabrina Abballe, Kristopher Kam, Rosanne Romanello, Kelsey Murphy, and the EpicReads crew. Thank you also to Ronan LeFur for another beautiful cover.

It’s a special thing to have an agent who not only loves your work but also gets you as a person. Thank you to Brianne Johnson at Writers House and Alexandra Levick and the whole foreign rights team for always believing in me.

A huge thank-you to the Skye Guard—the most enthusiastic fan club ever—with an extra loud shout-out to my Major General, Brittany Press, and superstar supporters Freya Austine, Adriana & Ryan Erickson, Camille Simkin, Kayla Bauck, Geoffrey Stafford, Lee-ann aka @Grumplstiltskin, Meredith aka @Gryphongirl2007, and Elsa Vivíana Munoz.

Thank you to all the librarians, teachers, readers, bookstagrammers, BookTubers, bloggers, and everyone else who has picked up one of my books or told someone about them—you make it possible for me to live my dream.

I’d be very lonely without my bookish besties—Angela Mann, Elizabeth Fama, Dana Elmendorf, Karen Grunberg, Stacey Lee, Anna Shinoda, Sara Raasch, C. J. Redwine, and the wonderful Fantasy on Friday ladies.

A giant thank-you to my incredible family. Mom & Dad, thanks for buying every version of my books (even the compact disc!) and for schlepping them around the world to give to family and friends. To Ryan Stripling, for telling your brother he’d better marry me because authors are keepers and for passing along the love of literature to future generations. Thank you to Barbara Stripling for talking up my books to librarians everywhere. To Jeff Stripling, Doris Patneau, and all the other Striplings and Patneaus and this beautiful, massive extended family—thank you for reading my stories.

And last, but actually, always first—Reese and Tom, I literally don’t know what I’d do without you. Every word of every book is only possible because of your love and unerring support. I love you, I love you, I love you.
