First, thanks to my wonderful wife, Michele McClellan, for being there to bounce ideas and read my first drafts. Thanks to my editor Devi Pillai for taking a chance on a brand-new world; and thanks to all the support staff at Tor who have had a hand in creating, editing, visualizing, and marketing In the Shadow of Lightning.

Thanks of course to my wonderful agent, Caitlin Blasdell, and all the people at Liza Dawson Associates for their work selling the series. Thanks to my assistant, Casey Blair, and artists Ben McSweeney and Nigar Taghiyeva.
