Deanna, Alex, Gabriella, thank you for your invaluable feedback and support and for being the best beta readers ever. You’re the best!
Thank you to my agent, Bibi, for generally being awesome and also for providing invaluable career advice and for helping the Nyaxia series reach heights and distances that I honestly never ever could have dreamed about a year ago.
Thank you to my Swords & Corsets crew, JD Evans, Krystle Matar, and Angela Boord, for keeping me sane and listening to me bitch all the time. Special shout-out to Krystle for being my sprinting buddy through the entire creation and editing process of this book!
And finally, the biggest thanks of all goes to you. These last few months have been absolutely surreal and I know as soon as I launch this book, it’s going to hit me like a truck. I am not exaggerating when I say I literally could not have imagined any of this a year or even six months ago. Thank you for your fan art, your messages, your emails, your aesthetic boards, your reviews, your TikTok and Instagram and Goodreads posts, and in general, the immense support and enthusiasm you’ve given these characters. I am gobsmacked every day! I hope you love what comes next!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Carissa Broadbent has been concerning teachers and parents with mercilessly grim tales since she was roughly nine years old. Since then, her stories have gotten (slightly) less depressing and (hopefully a lot?) more readable. Today, she writes fantasy novels with a heaping dose of badass ladies and a big pinch of romance. She lives with her husband, one very well behaved rabbit, one very poorly behaved rabbit, and one perpetually skeptical cat in Rhode Island.
