Acknowledgements
This book would never have been written by me alone. Although each story is written by one author, it is rarely a solo effort. I would therefore like to take this opportunity to thank the people who supported me through moments of doubt, fatigue and silence when the words would not come.
My biggest thanks go to my sister. Thank you for your patience, support and belief in me, even when I doubted myself the most. She was always there whenever I needed reassurance that it was worth it. I did not take her support for granted, it was a gift that I deeply appreciated.
I would also like to thank my close friends. Those who encouraged me, read my work in progress, listened to my endless monologues about characters and plot, and still saw my potential even when I couldn't. Your words, interest and sincere belief meant more to me than you realise.
Thanks also go to the readers. To those who decided to give this story a chance and enter its dark world, staying there until the very end. Every reader brings a story to life, giving it new meaning.
Thank you to everyone who was there at the birth of this book, whether through words, silence or mere presence. Blood Debt may be my story, but it contains a part of each of you.
