A Goodbye Letter To My Characters
To my friends:
There is something so bittersweet about saying farewell. It has been an incredible journey and I felt like I grew up alongside you, though your adventures were much more perilous than mine. When I finished writing the last page of the epilogue, I cried so hard and kept crying for days. There was a moment in there when I wasn’t sure if I could continue on, just like so many moments you’ve all had. There was also a stronger, clearer spark, a spark for which I’m forever indebted to you, an understanding that no matter far I’ve fallen, the first step to rising again is to get on my own two feet, but also that it’s all right to take hold of a lending hand. You have taught me so much in our years together. You aren’t my first characters, or out of my first book, but you’re my first characters I’ve been able to share with others. You’ve been a gateway for me to live my dream and enabled me to meet the best friends I’ve ever had. I’m so happy that in return, I could give you the most loyal friends, the fiercest loves, and an incredible story.
Cadan, you have such a fire in you and I have no idea where it came from. I never imagined you would turn out to be the person that you became. I dream of you finding the love that you yearn for and are so desperately owed. You are remarkable.
Will, you are a force of nature and have given such strength to Ellie and to me. It’s possible that neither of us would have had the will to reach the end of this story without you. Your name is so apt. There is no stronger will than yours. For hundreds of years you have never strayed from your mission and your love for Ellie, despite so many heartbreaking lows. I’m glad I could give you what you needed in the end: love, family, and peace. I know you won’t waste a moment, because you of all people know how precious a moment is.
Ellie, you have my heart. I was barely twenty-two years old when you came into my life, pretty much just a kid, and together we grew up. We discovered who we are, who our real friends are, and we found our destinies. Neither of us is perfect and we both learned that it’s okay, that the only way to grow up and find ourselves is to sometimes stray—so long as we fight like wild horses for what we believe in. You have shown your power in battle and you’ve shown the strength in your heart. There’s so much of me in you and now there’s so much of you in me that I feel like I’m losing a sister. Love you, girl.
Sometimes I dream of you and where you are now after I finished our last page together. I know —and our readers know— that your stories aren’t finished. You have centuries of past history behind you and centuries of future journeys ahead of you. I may not have centuries ahead, but I have many future journeys. I’ll miss you all so much. Goodbye.

Still think Courtney should write a novella from Cadan’s perspective! Or Will’s.
I completely agree or a spin off series! It’d be awesome to see what happens to him. Hopefully he’d find a love and him and Will would become close. Either way to have some type of short story would be awesome!
I can’t wait for Courtney’s next writing. Shes an amazing writer!!
I was going to say, Cadan needs his own story, and I hope in the future it happens!!!
@Haley- So glad I’m not the only Caden fan
P.S this post just made me have a feels cry-a-thon, because now I feel like the series is really over, and I’m not ready to part with it!! Great series!!
Let’s just say I’m not only a Cadan fan, but I’m a fan of Ellie, Will, Marcus, Nathaniel, Katie, and Cadan…pretty much all the characters. I love them all. Wish they were making THIS into a TV series, but Embrace was the angel series that got optioned.
I totally agree. I want a story from Caden and or Will’s Point of view!!! I’m also ready for her next coming of books!!! so excited!! It can’t be helped!!!
I am Mariam used every single spell worker on the internet, spent untold amounts of money and discovered they are all fakes…i was the fool though; doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In the end, I decided that I wanted a tarot reading to know what my future held for me; I contacted a woman who lives locally to me and she told me about a man named (priests Olalude Abija); he does not advertise on the internet, has another job for income, has no set prices, makes no false promises and refuses to help anyone that cannot be helped and even helps
for free sometimes, he will give you proof before taking money. He is a wonderful man and he was the only person who actually gave me real results. I really hope he doesn’t mind me advertising his contact on the internet but I’m sure any help/ extra work will benefit him.contact him as oduakar1@live.com He travel sometimes.i cant give out his number cos he told me he don’t want to be disturbed by many people across the world..he said his email is okay and he’ will replied to any emails asap,love marriage,finance, job promotion ,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,any sicknesses voodoo,Trouble in marriage,HIV AIDS,it’s all he does Hope this helps everyone that is in a desperate situation as I once was; I know how it feels to hold onto something and never have a chance to move on because of the false promises and then to feel trapped in wanting something
more.
