I would like to thank all the people whose support and professionalism have made the Black Sun’s Daughter series possible: the New Mexico Critical Mass group, who were there from the beginning; my agents, Shawna McCarthy and Danny Baror; my editors, Jennifer Heddle and Adam Wilson; and the whole brilliant crew at Pocket Books. Special thanks are due to Carrie Vaughn for years of conversation, analysis, and first reads. Without her, none of this would have even begun.
All failures and infelicities are, of course, my own.
