To Kate Prosswimmer, my talented weaver of an editor, who helped tie all my dangling strings into a tapestry. I am indebted to your brilliance.

To Nicole Fiorica and the magical staff at Margaret K. McElderry Books, for all the spells you cast behind the scenes. Thank you for your time and your creativity.

To my family, both blood-related and chosen, for the million little ways you’ve supported me on this path. Love this journey for us.

To my critique partners, AdriAnne Strickland, Phoebe North, and Elle Cosimano, for always making me ground my fables in reality. You bring order to my chaos.

To Mindy McGinnis, Kara Thomas, and everyone in the Lucky 13s. We began as a debut group, seven years ago, and I am continually humbled and grateful that you’ve shown up for me in the years since. I can’t wait to see what you do next.

To those of you who’ve always known who you were, in spite of what people told you. For those who found yourself along the way. For those still looking.

This book is for you.
