How did it come to this? Loyal to her family, her lands and her people, Théadain, the illegitimate daughter of Théoden, King of Rohan, has little concern for the world that lies beyond her familiar grasslands. When all that she loves is threatened, she must risk the position she has fought long and hard to earn, plunging herself into a conflict she never sought. As she learns of the rising darkness in far off corners of her world, she begins to realise that her fate may lead her beyond the familiar, and may entwine with the fates of others in ways she could never have foreseen. 'Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountain. Like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the West, behind the hills, into shadow...'

'Where now the horse and the rider?' Prequel to 'Rain on the Mountain'. Before the storm clouds of war gathered. Before the growing shadow in the East took form. Before the Riddermark knew the choking hold of a wizard's malice. Before the illegitimate daughter of a King set her feet to the path before her. In a world of men; of Kings and Lords, of Marshals and Stewards, Théadain, daughter of Théoden, must fight for her place among them. Whilst the roles of those around her are clearly defined, history and tradition have written no place for a bastard in the Golden Hall. She will not let circumstance define her, for the spirit of a Shieldmaiden of Rohan is strong. Her love for her land is fierce, and she will not let adventure pass her by. Book 2 in the 'Lament for the Rohirrim' Series. [Book 1 - 'Rain on the Mountain' follows Théadain's journey with the Fellowship of the Ring.] [Based on a combination of J.R.R. Tolkien's books and Peter Jackson's films - any characters not created by them are my own.]

'Bilbo once told me his part in this tale would end, that each of us must come and go in the telling...' Like all of us, the recent passing of Sir Ian Holm struck me deeply, and I felt the need to acknowledge that in my own way, with a gentle nod to his portrayal of our dear Uncle Bilbo. A short one-shot taking place within my 'Lament for the Rohirrim' series, wherein we glimpse a few moments that just didn't quite make it into the main story and witness how the adventures of a Hobbit of the Shire touch the life of a girl from Rohan, if only briefly. For it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love. Farewell, dear Bilbo, dear Ian. [Potential spoilers for the end of 'Rain on the Mountain'] [Based on Peter Jackson's Films with inspiration and embellishment drawn from J.R.R. Tolkien's books - any characters not created by them are my own.]

The world is changing. The Éadig family has resided on the Meduseld estate for generations. Once a clan of wealthy benefactors and socialites, the 21st century has seen the contents of the family bank account shrink and the strength of their home and name fall victim to the slow march of time. Théadain, the eldest daughter of the family, has dedicated her life to ensuring the survival of the Eorl Foundation, a charity established by one of her ancestors - but the charity may soon be the least of her worries. A large mining company has set its sights on her family's land, and with the will of her father weakening, she is suddenly confronted with the reality that she may be forced from the only place in the world she truly loves. With the deadline for a decision approaching, Théadain must lay aside her pride and turn to the only law firm in the country that would dare stand up to her rivals - she just needs to convince the new senior partner to take up her case. A Lord of the Rings AU - Aragorn X OC Based on characters from my 'Lament for the Rohirrim' series and by default J.R.R Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings'. Alternate title: 'The Hallmark Movie Middle Earth AU That No One Asked For And Would Have JRRT Spinning In His Grave Like A Rotisserie Chicken' (Don't take it too seriously. Sorry JRRT.)
