This story was written with many thanks to toffee almond biscotti, pictured here in its decadent array. I extend my thanks by intermittently mentioning the biscotti in this story, so remember the biscotti.

Music is mostly classic rock, especially the Foreigner album called No End in Sight: The Very Best of Foreigner. Most of the music resonates with Markerer, Tren, Iressa, and Crimson. Either that, or it just really fits certain parts of the story.

There is a 'theme' song designated for this book. It is "Die With You" by The Anix. The music and lyrics suit the situation of Tren, Iressa, and Crimson perfectly. There are many different versions of this song, and they all sound really good and seem to align directly with my story. "Die Without You" is the 'acoustic' version of "Die With You". The Anix is one of my favorite music artists 🎸

Grab a tea and biscotti, and get ready for Tessa to finally meet Tren and Crimson, for Markerer to tell the Eclipse family the Iredescent truth, and for Redek to finally meet his end at the flames of the Crimson Phoenix.

Yup, this is the book where Crimson finally turns into his Phoenix form 🔥

Sparkle on! ✨
