Author's Notes: See Chapter 1 for more notes.

kadollan and sweetwatersong are both amazing betas (otherwise known as word goddesses) who I'm very blessed to have in my corner. (They are also super fast and on the ball and full of Very Good Ideas.)

So... the draft is finished. We're still working it over with a fine-toothed comb (because apparently when you write while recovering from a root canal you make really stupid grammar and spelling errors, I don't even know) but the last four chapters, the fifth interlude, and the epilogue, are all done. I'll post a chapter every four or five days (depending on how long it takes them to be beta-read. I would really love my betas to continue to speak to me for the foreseeable future and so I'm not expecting them to go through 18,000+ words in a couple days.) I'm hugely, hugely grateful for everyone who has stuck with this, cheered me up and on, and basically kicked my ass until I completed the damn thing. :)
