The burn surges through me, shimmering over my skin, shifting with the painless fluidity and silent ease from the confines of humanity to the natural freedom of everything I am. A fury of unfurled wings, talons and teeth, horns and spikes, growls, roars, and fire soaring through the cloudless sky, untamed yet burdened with eternal responsibilities, I am a Dracopraesi.
I am a dragon.
I am Cait’s dragon, and I wish to be no one else.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Ever playing the part of sounding board, beta reader, emotional support, go-to for all commiseration, photographer, anything else I need, and always my best friend, I wouldn’t survive the ups and downs of writing without my sister Jen Streck. Thank you for understanding my frustrations when characters get minds of their own, stories go in unplanned directions, and the insanity of trying to keep everything in some semblance of order. You keep me grounded and have helped me hold it together through the past two (more than that, to be honest) years when I sometimes have no idea what the hell I’m doing.
And to Jen’s husband, I appreciate you being the kind of brother-in-law who just rolls with it all because she’s busy doing whatever it is for her sister, and that’s enough of an explanation for you.
I also want to thank Jim Petreshock, Michelle Alcorn, Gary Alcorn, Joshua Johnson, Carol Wooten, and Zara Hoffman for your support, input, and various things you’ve done. Each one of you contributed a little something to getting this finished. Your efforts haven’t gone unappreciated.
Finally, a million thanks to the readers of FIRE OF STARS AND DRAGONS who have been waiting for this. I hope BLOOD OF STARS AND GODS is a sequel that lives up to your expectations and you enjoy it as much as you did the first. If you’ve loved the Stars and Souls Trilogy so far, you better start preparing now for the final book.
