With appreciation to Todd Lockwood, a remarkable visual

storyteller. Thank you for trying to see Uriel as I did, and for succeeding beyond any expectation. I'll never be

able to look at the cover of Tangled Webs without

experiencing a momentary shock of recognition!

Thanks to Bob Salvatore, whose generous spirit and

gracious support made venturing into dark elf territory

a little less terrifying than it might otherwise have been.

Finally, thanks to the readers who over the past few years

have written requesting the finale to Liriel's tale.

This story is dedicated to the memory of my grandmother,

Franceszka Cwitovzska,

a reader of dreams and singer

of old tales, a kindred spirit then and still. She would

have been very much at home in Rashemen.

Dzienkuje, Babka.
