When Louis XIII died on 14 May 1643, 4-year-old Louis became more than the King of France. To his mother and Cardinal Mazarin, he became a political tool. To his little 2-year-old brother Philippe (Duc d'Anjou), he became Petit Papa. As he grew up, he learned there was more to being a king than getting everything--it was about sacrificing everything to become the most powerful monarch in Europe. From child-king to the Sun King, Louis would spend 70 years becoming the infamous symbol of imperial power to become the longest-reigning ruler in history.

In the final book of the Kingdom of the Woodland Realm Trilogy, Legolas tells the story of his life from childhood to his experiences with the Fellowship of the Ring and beyond. Born in 41 T.A. in Mirkwood to King Thranduil and Queen Êlúriel Nenluin, he was raised to become heir to the former kingdom of Eryn Galen before the coming of Sauron. His destiny would change when the ranger known as Estel (Aragorn, son of Arathorn) comes into Mirkwood with a hideous creature known as Gollum. When he is called to Imladris (Rivendell) to become one of the Nine Walkers (Fellowship of the Ring), he realizes that his calling is adventure rather than rule. He will have to leave all he has ever loved behind--including his beloved Mîráre (the one he calls Lasuil).

"I am Thranduil, I was born to rule." The Saga of Thranduil has been called many things by those that have read it--from Fan Fiction to a Continuation of the stories of Middle Earth given to us by the legendary author J.R.R. Tolkien. It is the story of the Elven King, Thranduil told by the king himself. From his childhood to the surprise ending of his life in Arda (Middle Earth), he leads readers on a spectacular journey into his world. To write the story, the author dove deep into the annals of Tolkien's Middle Earth from all of his works (including 12 volumes of Middle Earth History), learned is languages, and wove a tapestry that has not been seen in the pages of a book in over 60 years. Total pages: 516, words: 183,448.

It is the origin story of the royal family of Mirkwood; complete with all the battles of the First Age. Part I is the story of Orothôn, the father of the future Oropher, the future first Elvenking of Eryn Galen (aka Mirkwood). Orothôn awakens at Lake Cuiviénen (Quendi: Water of Awakening; Nen Echui in Sindarin) beneath the stars in the new world known as Endóre/Middle Earth. He meets his future wife Mîrwen, the daughter of Elmo (brother of Elwë and Olwë). Only Olwë makes it to Eldamar. Elwë falls in love with the Maiar Melian and begins his reign over Doriath as Elu Thingol. Part II is the story of Oropher, the father of Thranduil. He would leave Menegroth (Doriath) to find his kingdom in the Rhovanion, where he becomes the King of the Silvans. He would later die at Dagorlad during the War of the Last Alliance, leaving his kingdom to his son, Thranduil.
