To my fellow Dragon Riders,

I feel like I can't end this series without saying a big thank you to all of you. This journey has been long (nearly 5 years, in fact), and we lost some fighters along the way (that we shouldn't give up complete hope on, just saying), but we did it. We made it to the end. And it is amazing that these stories have amassed such a huge following in that time. New fans and old, all of you made this possible.

My How to Train Your Dragon series was the first ever series I published, all the way back in June of 2015. It wasn't all that popular at first, so I thought it was going to be something that flew under the radar. The series also went through a lot of changes, including almost all the titles in this series. But I feel like giving it that time only made the series better. There was a time when I had considered re-writing Not Like Them, but I decided against it, instead going for Keep on Fighting. I felt like the one that started it all should be left the way it is, and if people stuck with the series after that cringe-fest, then they'd love the rest of the series.

I have grown with Reign over time, and much of her journey to figure out who she is and accept herself reflected mine. I published these stories at the age of 14, when no one knows what the hell they're doing or who they are. And I feel like Reign's journey coming full circle as I became an adult fit in well with my own life. Not to mention, the franchise I grew up with ending just months after I turned 18 was a strange, sad coincidence.

Thank you all again for following and supporting this series to the end (or is it??? Maybe I'm doing things behind the scenes and y'all don't even know).

All the best,
