Gods & Monsters (Serpent & Dove #3) by Shelby Mahurin

Sarah, I feel so incredibly grateful to have such a warm and approachable agent in my corner. Erica, editor extraordinaire, I can’t thank you enough for your unending patience and your infallible vision for this series. (And I promise I’ll make my next deadline! I promise!) Stephanie Guerdan, it was so wonderful to work with you. Alexandra Rakaczki and Jessica White, I’m so grateful for your sharp eyes, and I similarly promise there will be no Célie or Philippe in my next book! Allison Brown, thank you for all the time and energy you poured into this series. Jessie Gang and Alison Donalty, these covers have continued to blow my mind; I attribute so much of this series’ success to your and Katt Phatt’s skills. Rachel Horowitz, Sheala Howley, and Cassidy Miller, as well as Sophie Kossakowski, Gillian Wise, Sam Howard, Karen Radner, and the entire sales team, thank you for working behind the scenes to make these books successful.

Mitch Thorpe, Michael D’Angelo, Ebony LaDelle, Audrey Diestelkamp, and the entire team at Epic Reads—you are all rock stars. Truly, I can’t thank you enough for your enthusiasm and support of this series, as well as the resources and opportunities you provided.





About the Author




Courtesy Shelby Mahurin

SHELBY MAHURIN is the New York Times bestselling author of the Serpent & Dove trilogy. She grew up on a small farm in rural Indiana, where sticks became wands and cows became dragons. Her rampant imagination didn’t fade with age, so she continues to play make-believe every day—with words now instead of cows. When not writing, Shelby watches The Office and reads voraciously. She still lives near that childhood farm with her very tall husband and semiferal children. Visit her online at www.shelbymahurin.com.
