Good evening Mr Cornwell,
Having been spellbound by your Warlord Chronicles as a teenager I ended up re-reading them again as an adult and have just finished The Last Enchantment (again!) on my 40th birthday!
For the second time round I absolutely loved every page and find Derfel to be such an awesome companion to have explored the Dark Ages with. I thank you for giving my imagination and heart such a deep massage!
May I ask … what did you envisage as Nimue’s fate? Scampering away to rage for the rest of her days in a remote cave somewhere or disposed of by the Christian army of Gwent? Perhaps she spent the rest of her days gazing at the tide – hoping for Excaliber to get washed ashore to no avail?
Thanks once again …
Keep writing!
