This novel would be much diminished without the fabulous interior illustrations by Hayley Lazo and cover illustrations by Scott Brundage. Isaac Stewart's art direction, cover design, and map (did you see it on the inside of the jacket?) are likewise essential.

|<pre>
For Peter Ahlstrom
 
Who is not only a good friend and great man,
 
But one who has been reading my books since the days when they were terrible,
 
And who strives very hard to keep them from being that way again.
 
Insoluble, Incalculable, Indefinable.
 
Indispensible.
</pre>
Karen Ahlstrom, who gives great advice, and who also puts up with Peter reading her my books for date night.
 
Janci OldsPatterson, who tells me what I need to hear about my writing. Bastille may be based on her just a tad, but don’t tell her, because she might end up chasing me around with a sword.
 
Kristina Kugler, who taught her two-year-old daughter to put her fingers up to her mouth and wiggle them when someone asks, ‘What does Cthulu say?’ (Does she need a better reason than that for an acknowledgment? Well, okay, she read the book too and gave lots of great feedback.)
 
Joshua Bilmes and Eddie Schneider, who fightsfight for these books. He’sThey're our own personal Knight of Crystallia.
 
Jen Rees, who provides a sharp red pencil to fight off the goblins of bad writing.
 
Susan Chang, who champions this series for Starscape. Ingrid Powell for proofreading, Karl Gold and Megan Kiddoo for spearheading production, and Heather Saunders and Nicola Ferguson for the interior design.
 
Hayley Lazo and Scott Brundage for the fantastic illustrations, and Isaac Stewart for the map, art direction, and cover design.
 
Thank you all!
