Wounded in the Battle of the Five Armies, Thorin Oakenshield and his two nephews are brought to Rivendell. There, the three dwarves begin the long, arduous, and taxing road to recuperation and all Thorin wants it to be well enough to return to Erebor and his rightful place on that throne. Amara makes him want to punch something, but at the same time, with each day, his desire for her outweighs his aggravation with her. Amara of Rivendell has devoted her life to healing, but she never expected to meet someone like Thorin. The proud, stubborn dwarf challenges her to no end, and in return, she works him until he swears revenge. But along the way, she realizes there is more to the King Under the Mountain than meets the eye, and as they come to know one another, she becomes more determined to break down his walls and bring some happiness into his life. But, while Azog the Defiler is gone, another has taken his place and like his predecessor, has vowed to end the line of Durin for once and for all, and just might be successful in shattering the fragile peace Thorin and Amara find in each other's arms.

As the journey towards the mountain grows more difficult, Thorin and y/n's newfound love is put to the test. When it comes down to it, what will he choose, his love or his gold? Y/n and Bilbo Baggins have officially been welcomed into the company. They have faced the pale orc and now must be prepared to face all the obstacles that come with him. As they grow closer to the mountain and see the change of reason in Thorin's heart, it will be time to decide if they are really up to the challenge. Is the gold worth that much if their leader has lost his reason to fight for them? Disclaimer: I do not own any of The Hobbit characters. Credit goes to J. R. R. Tolkien as well as Peter Jackson.

Dizem que as ações falam mais alto que palavras. Thorin esperava que suas ações dissessem a Bilbo tudo o que ele não podia dizer sobre seus sentimentos. Mas quando cortejamos alguém de uma cultura diferente, talvez algumas ações não sejam compreendidas.
