Thanks to everyone who helped make this book real.
To my ladies Irette and Kaia, for being my strength and my sounding board.
To my husband and daughter, who have weathered the good and the bad and the wtf and are always, always by my side.
To my Navajo friends and family, who love me and nurture me and have encouraged me to go on this adventure. Who are proud of me for being the first in the family to write a book. Who see themselves in Maggie and Kai and love the representation. Who laugh with me and cry with me and encourage me to be brave and be better.
To my editor, Joe Monti, who had the wisdom to have me write book two well before book one hit the shelves. Best idea ever.
To my agent, Sara Megibow, for making sure I got the chance to write two books.
To the incredible team at Saga Press, who made this happen.
To Tommy Arnold, for coming up with that Trail of Lightning cover and, when tasked with the Storm of Locusts cover, said, “Hold my beer.”
To the fans, who embraced Maggie even though she was a solid bitch and loved her anyway. Thank you.
