Cover Reveal LH Nicole Claiming Excalibur
10:00 AM
Welcome to my first cover reveal on the Miss Little Book Addict YA blog! LH is a friend to both me and my boss Miss little book addict, so we are both very pleases to be taking part in her cover reveal! I personally loved the first book, can't wait to get my hands on this one, and what a gorgeous cover!
Aliana Fagan has done what many thought impossible: she’s awakened
King Arthur from his fifteen-hundred-year sleep, reunited the Knights of the
Round Table, and even beaten Mordrid and Morgana LeFay in battle.
But the Destined One’s quest has only begun.
Before the knights can "unearth and reclaim their lost
relics" they must survive the trip to Charleston, South Carolina and meet
the newest member of the Round Table. If King Arthur’s men thought Aliana and
Lacy were tenacious, they'll be even more surprised by Dawn, the third member
of the fem-trio.
Deadly secrets, unexpected allies, and a traitor lurking in the
shadows await Aliana and the new Round Table as they continue their search for
Excalibur. Their only clue is a beyond confusing poem from a mysterious book
that speaks of a terrifying creature guarding the legendary sword. Trying to
build a somewhat normal relationship with Sir Galahad adds a whole new level of
complexity to Aliana’s task, especially when several among them suspect the
White Knight may not be wholly himself. Her friendship with King Arthur grows
closer, and when circumstances become intense, he may finally get the chance
with Aliana that he’s been pining for.
Mysteries, legendary quests, and haunting memories will either
unite the members of the New Round Table or fracture their bonds. Aliana and
her crew only have seven months before the planets align and Mordrid can seize
the power he needs to conquer the seven realms. Can the Destined One keep her
new family together and lead Arthur to his destiny of saving the realms? Or
will a centuries-old plot for revenge finally spell the king’s end?

excerpt-
“Being back is
hard for you.” Aliana nearly smacked into the doorframe when Galahad
placed his large hands on her tense shoulders.
“You scared me!”
she said, placing her hand over her heart.
“I though you
would have heard me coming.” His warm hands massaged her tight shoulders. “But
you seem lost in another world.”
Leaning into his
touch, she shook her head. “I was just thinking.”
Galahad sighed
deeply, his hands squeezing her shoulders before turning her to face him. “I
understand how you’re feeling right now. My parents were murdered when I was
young.”
Aliana looked
into his blue eyes, surprised. “You never told me that.”
“Sir Belvoir and
his men found us just after it happened. He raised me as his own, trained me to
be a knight.” His hand rubbed light circles on her back.
“I was just
remembering how things used to be,” Aliana confessed, hoping that sharing some
of her pain would help lessen it.
“Why were you
looking through your father’s things before you came to London?”
Aliana turned in
Galahad’s arms, leaning her back against his chest. She studied the office
until she found her voice. “I was in New Orleans working on a photo
commission several months ago. I was walking the French Quarter when I came to
a fortuneteller’s stand. I took a few pictures, and she called me over. I
thought she was going to be upset with me, but she sat me down at her table.
‘You feet mus’ be achin’ after running so hard, chère,’ she told me. ‘Folks
thinkin’ the’ can run from de past and they ghosts never find peace’.”
Aliana laid her
hands over Galahad’s, remembering the feel of the woman’s cracked, dry hand on
top of hers and the smell of sweet tea on the woman’s breath. “I tried to
ignore her, but she kept insisting that I needed to stop running and face what
was haunting me. She said I’d never again know what a real life ‘filled with
love, happiness, and adventure’ felt like until I faced my past. It took me
another two weeks before I came home.”
Galahad hugged
her tighter, his chin resting on her shoulder, silently supporting her. “When
you returned home you discovered your adoption.”
Aliana nodded,
turning her face toward his. “I guess she was right. I never would have been in
London if she hadn’t pushed me to come home. I never would have been in
Avalon’s forest, and I never would’ve found you or Dagg or Arthur.”
“Do you regret
it?” Galahad asked, a worried kind of seriousness in his eyes.
I reached out to the author LH Nicole and got an extra little something to add to this reveal: Playlists!
Book #1
Legendary
Before the darkest hour strikes the Destined One shall come forth
Avalon’s lost daughter must thrice and
alone prove her worth
Then can she fully possess the power to
awaken the King
It shall become her destiny to reunite
the Round Table
Unearth and reclaim their lost relics
Become the key to undoing the evil
Mordrid has wrought
Only with her can the Once and Future
King prevail
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?
