Five Dark Fates (Three Dark Crowns, #4)(105)

‘Now let’s go find your boy.’





ACKNOWLEDGMENTS


Thank you to everyone who has come with me to Fennbirn, who has journeyed with the queens across four novels and seen them to their ends. I cannot express to you what an honor it has been to have you with me, and how grateful I am that you’re still here. It means the world that you have lived (and died) and loved (and hated) and won and lost with these queens. Thank you.

In case you haven’t heard me shouting about it, my agent, Adriann Ranta Zurhellen, and my editor, Alexandra Cooper, are the most incredible agent and editor ever, and I will fight you if you disagree. Also, Adriann and Alexandra, I don’t know how to thank you properly. I’m going to try, but maybe I could just buy you both ponies? I think you would look very fancy on them and maybe they would be good for commuting. You are both brilliant. I would be lost without your savvy advice and uncanny ability to make my terrible words better without making me cry because my words are terrible.

There were many, many people who helped this final book take shape: Jon Howard, Robin Roy, Gweneth Morton, thank you for your eagle eyes, solid sense of story, and command of the English language. Audrey Diestelkamp, Jane Lee, Tyler Breitfeller, and Jace Molan, thank you for being incredible marketing professionals and social media moguls and also being all-around great people. Alyssa Miele (congratulations, editor!) what are we going to do without you? Olivia Russo, you are a dream publicist, and I am so glad I’ve been able to lean on you and call you late at night when I have travel issues (though I do apologize for that call!). Sari Murray: thank you for putting up with me while Olivia is away. E Bess Braswell: you rock. It’s just like, a fact. Aurora Parlagreco, Erin Fitzsimmons, Cat SanJuan, John Dismukes, and Virginia Allyn: you have made this series so amazingly beautiful! Amy Landon, your voice has made the audiobooks absolutely shine. Thank you. A huge thank you to Rosemary Brosnan and the entire team at HarperTeen for unbelievable support.

Thank you to everyone at Foundry Literary + Media, and to Kirsten Wolf and Allison Devereux at Mackenzie Wolf.

Thank you for Crystal Patriarche and Keely Platte at BookSparks PR! You guys are awesome.

Thank you to April Genevieve Tucholke for encouraging texts and always being up for an escape room.

Thank you to Susan Murray, for remembering my characters when you rarely remember any characters except for the ones from Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead.

Thank you to my parents, for raising me and making sure I didn’t die and stuff. Also for the many delicious casseroles.

And as usual, thank you to Dylan Zoerb, for luck.
