Haley Marshall, because of course this book is dedicated to you. Thank you for over a decade of friendship, laughter, and for always being the first person to read and let me know that things （usually） are not as dogshit as I think they are.
God, for getting me here.
And finally, to every reader who has made it this far. Thank you for every kind message, review, and for every bit of cosplay, fanart, tattoos, or amazing crafts you have shared for this series. You all are so ridiculously talented and just plain incredible, and I’m so happy to have you as readers. Thank you for loving this book as much as I do. It’s because of all your support that the next page is possible.
