Dedication

Wizard Prime and the 7 books that follow are dedicated to my father, Leon Schuster (1912 – 2012). All that I am and all the good that I’ve done can be attributed to his wisdom and guidance. His gentle and generous spirit unfailingly lighted the way for me through an uncertain and tumultuous life. I thank all the Gods for the blessing of having his love and dedication for as long as I did. Rest easy, Dad.

I gratefully acknowledge Tracy Kugelman, my editor. Without her this book would be severely diminished in quality and insight.

Also, heartfelt kudos to Richard Keesan, my dragonish expert. His contribution cannot be overstated as a friend and dragonish linguist.

If you like the cover art as much as I do, then all the credit goes to the gifted artist Iku Oseki. The same applies to the enormously talented Robert Scott for the map.

Lastly, if you don’t like the Wizard Prime website, it’s Greg Palmer’s or Jeanne Rich’s fault. If you love the Wizard Prime website, it’s Greg Palmer’s or Jeanne Rich’s fault.
