A Legendary Love Letter

2/3/2015

 
Picture
For the past two weeks I’ve been featuring love letters written by guest authors based on the main characters of their books. All of this is to celebrate the release of my new YA novella Passing Notes, which is largely about a boy learning to write a love letter. Today’s guest is LH Nicole, author of Legendary. This fantasy series based on the legends of King Arthur and his knights sounds mystical and enchanting. Read this letter from Sir Galahad to the teenage heroine of this tale. If you like it, leave a comment and please scroll down and read some of the letters from the other authors who’ve stopped by.

Aliana Fagan spent her childhood traveling the world, dreaming of legendary heroes and mythical lands. But after the sudden death of her parents, she hides behind the safety of her camera and her art until a vivid recurring dream compels her to dig into her father’s research about Avalon and Camelot. When she is hurled into a magical realm by forces she thought were only the stuff of fairy tales, she finds herself thrown into an adventure she could never have imagined. Nearly everything she thought she knew about Arthurian legend was wrong.

The independent eighteen-year-old is shocked to find that the people of Avalon think that she is the Destined One, the only person who can summon King Arthur back to life from his hidden chamber. Most surprising of all is that it’s up to her to lead the Knights of the Round Table on an epic quest–an adventure that will transport them across the seven magic realms to reclaim all that has been lost so they can defeat the evil Mordrid for good. But first, she must bring the ancient warriors into her world and reunite them with their lost brothers. Chaperoning the legendary knights-with-a-chivalry-complex as they navigate the modern world is a constant challenge, and she certainly never thought she’d be caught between her intense feelings for the noble Sir Galahad and her growing friendship with the King.  

To fulfill the prophecy, Aliana will have to discover the meaning of friendship, bravery, loyalty, true love, and forgiveness. But can she do it all in time to save the realms from Mordrid’s impending Armageddon?

Dear Aliana,

There are few things I have done in my life that I truly regret. What I did to you, the way I broke your trust and hurt you, is my greatest shame. I knew what I was doing was wrong, but I could not make myself stop no matter how hard I tried. I could not explain it or understand it in that moment. I do not tell you this as an excuse. There is no excuse I could give that would make my actions right.

I knew later, after we left you and the girls trapped in the house, that my actions cost me the relationship we have built. My heart, a part of me that I always guarded so well, breaks because I have not just lost your love, but you were stolen from me...from us, by Mordrid.

This is just another way I have failed you.

I swore I would never let Mordrid or Morgana hurt you, and yet I failed to stop that demented Wizard. If it weren’t for the fact that I can still feel the silver bond between us, I would fear you dead. But I cannot let myself think such a horrible thing. Telling myself, no knowing, you are still alive is the only thing holding me together.

I never told you much about my family, only that my parents died. I never told you about my little sister or how she died. I wish you could have met her, my beautiful Sophvira. As I have heard you girls saying, you two would have gotten along like a house on fire. I have no doubt she would have loved you. You two share the same strong, loving and loyal spirit. I failed her too.

I have to be better, more in control of my actions and myself. I know I have hurt you and that I may no longer be deserving of your love. If I were a stronger man, I would step aside and let you and Arthur, my king, be together. I know he would make you happy, love you, but I am not that strong of a man. The thought of losing you, even to my brother, my king, I cannot bear it.

I have much to atone for. I may have no chance or right, but I will not give up on winning you back. I will become a better man, prove that you can trust me once again. I will become the man you deserve to have love and cherish you for the rest of your life and even beyond.

We are trying to find a way to locate you, to save you and bring you home to us, to me. I hope that when that happens—and it will happen; I will find a way to you—I can give you this letter, and maybe you can find a way to look past my actions and give me another chance. You own all of me; you have since that first moment when you freed me from the Sidhe. I am not going to give up on us, or on being the kind of man you need and deserve to have by your side.

I love you,

Your Galahad
