Page 608 - Fourth Wing

Acknowledgments

First and foremost, thank you to my Heavenly Father for blessing me

beyond my wildest dreams.
Thank you to my husband, Jason, for being the best inspiration an author

could ever have for the perfect book boyfriend and for your endless support
of my dream-chasing ways. Thank you for holding my hand when the world

went wonky, getting me to every doctor’s appointment, and managing the

overwhelming the calendar that comes with having four sons and a wife
with a connective tissue disorder. Through the surgeries and specialists,

you’ve been our rock. Thank you to my six children, who teach me more
than I will ever teach them. You guys are my reason. Never doubt that you

are essential to my existence. To my sister, Kate, love you, mean it. To my

parents, who are always there when I need them. To my best friend, Emily
Byer, for always hunting me down when I disappear into the writing cave

for months.

Thank you to my team at Red Tower. There isn’t enough gratitude in the
world for my editor Liz Pelletier, for giving me the chance to spread my

wings and write fantasy and keeping me fed and laughing during our

twenty-one-day stint of finishing edits. No laptops were harmed in the
making of this book. But seriously, this book is my dream. Thank you for

making it come true with your advice, input, patience, and endless support
—it wouldn’t have been possible without you. To Stacy for copy editing

during sleepless nights. Heather, Curtis, Molly, Jessica, Riki, and everyone

at Entangled and Macmillan for answering endless streams of emails and
for bringing this book to the marketplace. To Madison and Nicole for all the

incredible notes and staying up all night during the read-through. Elizabeth,
thank you for this beautiful cover, and to Bree and Amy for the exquisite

art. Thank you to my phenomenal agent, Louise Fury, who didn’t bat an eye
