In the ten years during which I tweaked, refined, and occasionally wrote Pendragon’s Heir, I received a great deal of help from a great many people. Thanks to Lorraine Black for lending me the story that started it all. Thanks to Rebekah White for critiquing Draft 1, to Alina White, Kate Saunders Britton, and Rosemary Williams for critiquing Drafts 2 and 3, to Schuyler McConkey and Christina Baehr for critiquing Draft 4, and to Elisabeth Grace Foley, David Noor, and Joshua Grubb for critiquing Draft 5. Thanks to my line editor, Sophia Field, and to my illustrator, Isaac Botkin, who also designed the drop caps, tweaked the cover design, and provided encouraging feedback. It has been a privilege to work with all of you.
I’m greatly indebted to Dr George Grant for the Christendom lecture series, Josephine Tey for The Daughter of Time, Roger Lancelyn Green for King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table, Charles Williams for All Hallows’ Eve and the Arthurian Torso, Christine de Pisan for The Treasury of the City of Ladies, Sir Thomas Malory for Le Morte D’Arthur, Saint Augustine for The City of God, and GK Chesterton for everything.
Dad and Mum and all my brothers and sisters, my debt to you is too great to be expressed on the back page of a sensational novel.
To all of you who gave me encouragement, friendship, help, and reproof over the years, I thank you. By investing in this author, you have invested in this book.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
