Writing a book is hard work. I would never have made it to the end if I hadn’t been helped by some friends. I would like to thank Annick, Jérôme and David, my fans from the very beginning who read over this story as it was being written. It is their continuous requests to know what would happen next that brought this story to fruition. Jean-Yves showed me how the Internet has made if easy today to have a creative work published.
I wish to also thank all those persons and muses who have inspired me as I worked on this novel.
Special thanks go to Anonymio who put my heroine in pictures and tolerated my bad temper.
These thanks would not be complete without mentioning Sheeris, a player on royaumes.net, who imagined how the Drow would deal with Deirane.
Finally, I must mention all the man
