── true courage is knowing not how to take a life, but when to spare one IN WHICH THE LAST OF THE DRAGONKIN JOINS THE COMPANY OF THORIN OAKENSHIELD TO RETAKE EREBOR A FIRE AND GOLD SERIES BOOK THORIN OAKENSHIELD × OC AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY - BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES V.1: APRIL 30/18 V.2: JUNE 14/23 © pseudonym-lux cover by @pepperronys

It is as though Ilwien seeks out trouble with the hope that, among it, she might find adventure, too. But one day, it is a dwarf they call Thorin Oakenshield she finds instead. And perhaps that will be the worst trouble of all... After losing her people in a brutal attack centuries ago, Ilwien does not hesitate to join a company of dwarves on a journey through which she might reclaim her homelands. She soon learns, however, that the leader of the company, a dwarf they call Thorin Oakenshield, seems set on hating her merely for the nature of her being. The question arises of who might manage to detest the other more, but then everything is turned upside down when Ilwien saves the dwarven king's life... How I Leave You is the book I have always wanted to read, but after years of being unable to find anything resembling it, I decided to create it myself. We have all read a good Thorin fic before. So I wanted to write a great one. 23/11/2021: #1 in thorinoakenshield 05/01/2022: #2 in thehobbit
