and situations for the games, Betrayal at Krondor and Return to Krondor,
which provided characters, situations, and ideas that coalesced into
this novel.

Also, and as usual, I stand in debt to the imagination and creative
support given me by the usual suspects, also known as the Friday
Nighters. Without them, Midkemia wouldn't exist and I would have had to
find another job.

DEDICATION




This book is dedicated to all the editors who have put up with,
inspired, corrected, and aided me, to the ends of improving the work and
making me look good: Adrian Zackheim, Nick Austin, Pat Lobrutto, Janna
Silverstein, Malcolm Edwards, and my current guides: Jennifer Brehl and
Jane Johnson.

Also, to Peter Schneider, who has done far more on my behalf than he
realizes.

My deepest thanks to them all.
