Thank you to Liza DeBlock, Kiya Evans, Shabnom Khanom and the whole team at Mushens Entertainment. I cannot believe how many countries The Wolf Den is now traveling to, thanks to your incredible hard work and determination.

My biggest thanks goes to Juliet Mushens, who has not only been (as always) an exceptional agent, but also a very dear friend. I cannot thank you enough, Juliet, for all you do for me. This book was shaped by your insight and advice, while your generosity with your time, your kindness and your humor, has meant the absolute world. All those emails, DMs, phone calls and memes—I appreciate every single one.
