A Court of Frost and Starlight A Court of Thorns and Roses

prime examples: endless plates of snacks, tea on demand, finding me the
comfiest of pillows to prop my swollen feet on). I love you to the stars and
back, and I can’t wait for this next epic chapter in our journey together.

And Annie. My sweet, sassy babypup, Annie. Thank you for the warm
cuddles and whiskery kisses, for being such a joy and a comfort on both the
brightest and darkest of days. There is no greater or more faithful canine
companion than you. I love you forever.

As always, I owe a huge debt to my agent, Tamar Rydzinski. Thank you,
thank you, thank you for being in my corner, for keeping me sane, and for
your wisdom and guidance. None of this would be possible without you.

To the badass team at the Laura Dail Literary Agency: you guys rock.
Thank you for everything. And Cassie Homer: you are the absolute best,
and I am so grateful for all that you do.

Bethany Buck: thank you for all your help with this book, and for being
such a lovely person. And thank you x infinity to the entire team at

Thank you for all of your tremendous work, and for the truly stunning
border on the cover. It’s such a dream come true to collaborate with you,
and I can’t wait to work with you more in the future.

To my family: Thank you for the love and support you gave my dad and
me this summer. You flew and drove in from all across the country to be
there for us in Vermont, and almost a year later, I still don’t have the words
to convey my gratitude or how much I love you all. I am so very blessed to
have you in my life.

To my parents: it’s been one hell of a year, but we made it. I’ll never stop
being amazed and grateful that I can even say those words. I love you both.

To my marvelous friends (you know who you are): Thank you for being
there when I needed you most, for checking on me and my family, and for
never failing to bring a smile to my face.

And lastly, to everyone out there who has picked up my books: thank
you. You are the greatest group of people that I’ve ever met, and I’m
honored to have you as readers. To the stars who listen—and the dreams
that are answered.
