To my phenomenal editor, Jennifer Ung: thank you for making this genre jump with me. You brought so much heart to my contemporary stories, so to have your incredible insight and editorial magic for our weird sci-fi/fantasy mash-up has truly been the greatest. This book wouldn’t be what it is without your gift, and I’m so grateful to share this story with you. Here’s to Book Four and counting!
To my agent and real-life superhero, Penny Moore: thank you for making this dream of mine a reality. You’ve known I wanted to write sci-fi and fantasy from the beginning, and even though my career took a beautiful and unexpected turn, you never gave up on trying to make that dream come true. I’m grateful for our first phone call all those years ago, and even more grateful to still be on this publishing journey with you.
An enormous thank-you to the entire team at Simon & Schuster, who’ve championed this story and helped get this book into the hands of readers: Chelsea Morgan, Penina Lopez, Jen Strada, Sara Berko, Justin Chanda, Kendra Levin, Lauren Hoffman, Caitlin Sweeny, Savannah Breckenridge, Alissa Nigro, Anna Jarzab, Nicole Russo, Lauren Carr, Michelle Leo, Christina Pecorale, Emily Hutton, and Victor Iannone.
And a very special thank-you to Laura Eckes, for the breathtaking cover design; Casey Weldon, for bringing Nami and the world of Infinity to life with your beautiful artwork; and Virginia Allyn, who created the most stunning map I’ve ever seen. Every design element for this book just blew me away, and I feel like the luckiest author in the world.
Thank you to the team at Aevitas Creative Management for all your unwavering support and for helping The Infinity Courts get a passport!
And to the wonderful street team: thank you times infinity for shouting about this book and being so unbelievably supportive. It has meant the world, and it’s been so, so special getting to share all the early excitement with each and every one of you!
To my writer, bookish, and real-life friends and family who have supported me book after book: you know who you are, and thank you from the bottom of my heart. I would be a mess without you (well, more of a mess, anyway).
To every single person who has picked up one of my books: I am so very grateful. I wouldn’t be here without all you wonderful readers. Thank you for opening your hearts and minds to these characters of mine. And to the readers who made the jump from my contemporary books: thank you for being a part of this new chapter. I’m eternally grateful that you stuck around.
