Also, a special thanks goes out this time to Casey Hudecki for helping me brainstorm some of the weapons sequences. This is a woman you want on your side in a gladiatorial smackdown. Trust me.
Love and gratitude, always, to my family, especially my mom and brother.
All the battle hugs I can give to my readers and fans. In person and online, you guys are so ferociously cool, you never cease to amaze me.
And finally, most of all, to John. You told me to set things on fire and you weren’t wrong. You never are.
