Promo Blitz CLAIMING EXCALIBUR
10:00 AM
Hey Addicts! I took part in the cover reveal for CLAIMING EXCALIBUR, now I'm back again to help YA author LH Nicole spread the word about the fantastical second book in her YA saga!
I love this series and the covers, I mean WOW! (It also helps that I'm still a BBC Merlin addict, even after the shows been canceled.... Man do I love King Arthur stories!)
In case you missed the first post, here's a little recap of what about this second book in the Legendary Saga is all about.
CLAIMING EXCALIBUR (Legendary Saga #2)
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?

Thanks to LH Nicole and Book Worms promotions I have some cool new memes and a whole new -OMG I am loving this- excerpt from CLAIMING EXCALIBUR to share
Arthur
sat back in his chair like a practiced storyteller. His golden brown gaze
washed over his old and new friends. “Stories had always been told of an
ancient sword forged by fire and earth, but no one had ever seen it. When I was
six, my father, King Uther, heard word of the sword’s resting place and was
told that a Nymph guarded it. Father thought if he had the sword, it would give
him the right to rule all of Albion, not just Camelot.”
“Why
would he think that?” Dawn interrupted.
“Druids,”
Merlin said at Arthur’s nod. “They told that the warrior destined to claim the
sword of fire and earth would become the greatest king Albion and the seven
realms had ever known.”
“Yep,
that would do it.” Lacy’s comment caused everyone to chuckle, even Merlin.
“My
father believed he was the type of warrior to claim the sword, so he set out on
a quest to the lake where we had heard it rested.”
“The
Lake of Avalon,” Aliana murmured.
“Yes,
at that time the lake was on the border of our land and that of the Fisher
King’s kingdom.”
“The
Fisher King?” Dawn gasped. “You mean he was real? Cursed land and all?”
“Yes,
he was, but that’s another story.” Arthur cleared his throat. “If there will be
no more interruptions.” He raised his brow, staring down the three girls.
Dawn
held her hands up in surrender.
“As
I was saying, the lake was located on the border of Camelot and the Fisher
King’s kingdom. Father gathered a squad of knights and marched on the lake. It
took us days to reach it. When my father and I stood at the lake’s edge, water
rippled and wind howled through the trees, knocking both of us into the lake. A
woman rose from beneath the water as the wind started to settle.” Arthur
sighed, his eyes far away. “She was beautiful, like nothing I had ever seen. Her
hair flowed like clear water, her pale blue eyes glittered with stars, and she
glowed like she held the sun inside her.”
Several
of the guys smiled wistfully, even Galahad. It amazed Aliana that they’d all
been so clearly taken by the Nymph. She imagined a photo of the whole scene,
and a spark of jealousy briefly flared.
“She
called herself, Nimuah, guardian of Avalon, and keeper of Excalibur. The king
stood and told her why we had come, and that he was the warrior of legend. She
nodded but kept looking toward me.
‘You
are indeed a great warrior king, Uther Pendragon, but only one may claim
Excalibur,’
she had said. Father approached her and swore a Pendragon was meant to have the
sword. She held out her hands, and water spouted up from the lake toward her
palms, bringing with it a long sword inlaid with precious gems and twisting
gold. It was the richest sword any of us had ever seen. Father reached out to
take it, but the sword rattled and quivered before it shot away, deep into the
forest. It moved almost faster than any of us could see.
‘You
are not the one worthy of Excalibur. When that warrior’s time comes, Excalibur
will be his to claim, if his heart is true,’ the keeper explained, her eyes focused
on me. Before father could protest, she vanished, bursting into thousands of
water droplets.”

Sounds like Aliana may be getting herself into some trouble here!

LEGENDARY (Legendary Saga #1)
BLURB:
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?
