Born of Blood and Ash

Acknowledgments

Writing any book is hard, but the last book in a series? It’s always the most difficult. You want it to be even more perfect. And getting it from my mind to your hands involves a whole team of people. Thank you, Hang Le, for your amazing cover design, and to Blue Box Press—Liz Berry, Jillian Stein, MJ Rose, Chelle Olson, Kim Guidroz, Jessica Saunders, Tanaka Kangara, the amazing editing and proofreading team, and Michael Perlman, along with the entire team at S&S for their hardcover distribution support and expertise. Also, my agents, Kevan Lyon and Taryn Fagerness; my assistant, Malissa Coy; shop manager Jen Fisher; and the hardworking team behind ApollyCon and more: Steph Brown, along with Vicky and Matt. Also, the JLAnders mods, Vonetta Young and Mona Awad, who help keep the group a safe and fun place for all.

I also need to thank those who’ve helped me procrastinate in one way or another—KA Tucker, Kristen Ashley, JR Ward, Sarah J. Maas, Steve Berry (for story times), Andrea Joan, Stacey Morgan, Margo Lipschultz, and so many more.

The biggest thank you to JLAnders for always creating a fun and often hilarious place to chill. You guys are the best! And to the ARC team for your honest reviews and support.

Most importantly, none of this would be possible without you, the reader. I hope you realize how much you mean to me. THANK YOU.
