(Sequel to Dawn.) Dawn, who, by now has settled down and gotten married, surprise visits her old friend Bilbo on his 111th birthday, only to discover that she never settled down at all, just became hungry for more adventure. So an adventure she has, along with Bilbo's nephew, three of his friends, her brother, her own nephew, a kid she met six decades ago, gandalf, and a man she has never met before. This adventure proves to be a bit higher stakes than the last however. It might even be too much.

Princess-general Kahlahari of Mirkwood had always had a knack for getting herself into all sorts trouble. Her father, sadly a rather short tempered Elf, has had enough of it and banished her from his kingdom. Kahlahari spends the next two decades hunting in Bree, where she meets Gandalf. He recruits her to be his apprentice, but that doesn't work out either. After fifty years and a fancy (since revoked) title, she finds herself back in Bree, under a new name and a human disguise. She meets Gandalf yet again, who tells her of an all too familiar Dwarven kingdom in need of reclaiming. Kahlahari soon finds herself amongst thirteen Dwarves, a Hobbit and a Wizard and sets out on a journey that would forever change her life. -~- #1 in "lotr" on Sept 6 2020. #1 in "the Hobbit" on Aug 21 2021.
