Royal Exile (56 page)

Read Royal Exile Online

Authors: Fiona McIntosh

This would be incomplete without mentioning my trio of editors around the world from HarperCollins. Thank you Stephanie Smith in Sydney, Kate Nintzel in New York and Emma Coode in London. Most of all, my thanks to the booksellers in these markets who are so enthusiastic about selling fantasy to an increasingly eager audience.

Endless love and thanks to Ian … and also to Will and Jack, toiling through their all important Year 12 during the crafting of this novel. Every success, boys … xx
