! Acknowledgements
|As a longtime Alcatraz fan, I am so grateful to have been a part of the completion of this series. Working on this book was pure joy from start to finish, and I am forever thankful to Brandon for letting me be a part of it. Special thanks to Emily Sanderson for believing in me and my work, and for suggesting I might be a good fit for the project. It's been an honor to work in this world, and with both of you.
 
I'm also thankful to all my early readers, including Megan Walker and my writing group, the often-renamed Seizure Ninjas. Special thanks to Cortana Olds, who was the first person ever to read through The Dark Talent and immediately begin this volume. Cortana has read the series dozens of times, remembers it better than I do, and was always willing to explain to me where exactly I would find this event or that joke. Thanks always to my husband, Drew Olds, for laughing at my jokes, for believing in me and my work, and for always being available when I just need someone to read a scene and tell me it's good.
 
Thanks to the Dragonsteel team, who are amazing at their jobs. Isaac Stewart helped with the plot development, and especially with the ending. Thank you, Isaac, for the ideas, for the support, and as always, for your friendship. Isaac also directed the art, and he and Hayley Lazo did an amazing job bringing Bastille's story to life-and many thanks to Anna Early, who assisted Hayley on a few final illustrations in order to meet tight deadlines. Karen Ahlstrom's continuity documents were a lifesaver while writing this book, and she gave excellent feedback on the finished draft. Kristina Kugler squeezed in a line edit for me on short notice, and her editing made this book much, much better than it was. Thank you, Kristy, for always supporting me and my work, and for making my sentences infinitely more readable. Peter Ahlstrom is an incredible editor, and I'm so grateful for his dedication to making all of Brandon's books the best they can be.
 
Special thanks are due to the Dragonsteel beta team-you guys are incredible, and I'm so thankful for the privilege of working with you. Betas for this book included Darci Cole, Paige Vest, Jennifer Neal, Becca Reppert, Richard Fife, Deana Covel Whitney, Alice Arneson, Linnea Lindstrom, Kalyani Poluri, Zaya Clinger, and Alexander Whitney. Your feedback helped shape this book into a better version of itself, and your friendship made the process more wonderful as well. Gamma readers included several of the above, plus Brian T. Hill, Chris McGrath, Joy Allen, Eliyahu Berelowitz Levin, Jessica Ashcraft, Brandon Cole, Ari Kufer, Ian McNatt, Ted Herman, Bob Kluttz, Aaron Biggs, Sam Baskin, Taylor Cole, Gary Singer, Glen Vogelaar, Alexis Horizon, Ross Newberry, Tim Challener, Heather Clinger, Dr. Kathleen Holland, Rebecca Arneson, Rahul Pantula, Evgeni "Argent" Kirilov, Eric Lake, Chana Oshira Block, and Aaron Ford.
 
Thanks to the team at Tor, including Susan Chang and Rachel Bass, for shepherding this book through its development. Susan's notes were instrumental in shaping the book from an early draft into the version you see now, and I'm grateful for her insight and her love of the series.
 
Thanks also to my agent, Eddie Schneider, and the whole team at JABberwocky, for looking out for me and for putting out so many fires. My job would be much, much harder without you.
 
And thanks most of all to you, our readers. Thank you for giving this book a chance, even after a very long wait. I hope you love it, and I hope my additions to the series have done justice to the stories you love.
