There are more Night Warden books coming. I really enjoy writing Grey, Koda and his part of the M&S World. He has had appearances in the last few books, but it’s time we dive back into what’s going on with him, Koda, Izanami, and Frank. I can’t wait.
The next series I’m focusing on is SEPIA BLUE and the next book for her is NAMELESS. If you haven’t read her stories, please pick up RISE OF THE NIGHT. It’s one of the first stories I wrote, and as I read it, I have my moments of wanting to edit and revise(I haven’t been in Sepia’s world in over four years), but overall, I’m really proud of those books. There would be no M&S without a Sepia Blue.
Everything happens for a reason.
In each story I have the privilege of writing, I try to reveal more about the character backgrounds and lives. This time, even though we touched on Monty’s past, our next direction is Simon’s life. This will definitely create more questions than answers. The answers will arrive slowly over the next ten books. Its a long ride, but I promise I will get to all of the questions…eventually.
Thank you again for taking the time to read this story and your incredible patience. I wrote it for you and I hope you enjoyed spending some time with Simon as he unraveled Monty’s situation, and did his best to be a good friend and brother to the angry mage, while being a worthy bondmate to his ever-ravenous hellhound, Peaches—who we all love.
If you enjoyed this story—please leave a review. It’s really important and helps the book (and me).
Thank you again for jumping into this adventure with me!
Special Mentions
Dolly Sanchez: for magealphabet, because Mages need to spell, too.
Reyhan Sanchez: For being an amazing first and fervent reader of all my stories. Your question of “When in the next book coming out?” followed by that great smile, inspires me to keep creating.
Zoya Sanchez, Official MoB TV greeter and closer: For “I don’t want to kill you, I’m inviting you to death.” This was truly an inspired line of dialogue, little Valkyrie. Thank you, Z.
Larry & Tammy—The WOUF: Because even when you aren’t there…you’re there.
Larry & Tammy: Because if Karma is going to have an animal companion, it should be large and named Justice.
Larry: One should never be a self-entitled rectal nugget…ever.
Steffon Carlson: for Sid Rat’s time focal Patek Philippe.
Ayrton Noble: You are a special being in and out of this book. Also, everyone (yes, everyone) likes to go fast.
Craig ‘The Dragon’ Zimick: Because you can’t spell DAMAGE without a Mage.
Malcolm Robertson: Because you should always fear an old man in a profession where people die young.

Acknowledegements
With each book, I realize that every time I learn something about this craft, it highlights so many things I still have to learn. Each book, each creative expression, has a large group of people behind it.
This book is no different.
Even though you see one name on the cover, it is with the knowledge that I am standing on the shoulders of the literary giants that informed my youth, and am supported by my generous readers who give of their time to jump into the adventures of my overactive imagination.
I would like to take a moment to express my most sincere thanks:
To Dolly: My wife and greatest support. You make all this possible each and every day. You keep me grounded when I get lost in the forest of ideas. Thank you for asking the right questions when needed, and listening intently when I go off on tangents. Thank you for who you are and the space you create—I love you.
To my Tribe: You are the reason I have stories to tell. You cannot possibly fathom how much and how deeply I love you all.
To Lee: Because you were the first audience I ever had. I love you, sis.
To the Logsdon Family: The words thank you are insufficient to describe the gratitude in my heart for each of you. JL, your support always demands I bring my best, my A-game, and produce the best story I can. Both you and Lorelei (my Uber Jeditor) and now, Audrey, are the reason I am where I am today. My thank you for the notes, challenges, corrections, advice, and laughter. Your patience is truly infinite. Arigatogozaimasu.
