This story is based on family trees found in the Appendicies of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King". The main characters are children of our hobbit heroes and the misadventures they find themselves in after Bilbo invites them to the Second House of Elrond in Valinor. In the Shire they thought the most amazing things were stories, but now Ely, Frodo, and Faramir find themselves in their own story, filled with goblins, elves, mystery, enchantment, and danger.

Gracie has it all, a rich mother, an adorable boyfriend and a popular best friend. But then her perfect life falls apart, starting with her parents violent divorce, and getting worse when both her boyfriend and best friend dump her. Gracie has to pick up the pieces of her shattered life and learn to be herself, regardless of what other people think.

{Note that, true to its title, this story will have some rather brutal scenes and violence.} Beware the assassin. She may fool you, she may tame you, she may even like you. But in the end, she will still kill you. ++++ Locked deep in the dungeons of the kingdom of Helios... ... There is a dark, dangerous creature. They call her the Shadow Assassin. The most feared creature in all of the four kingdoms. But she hides a secret that could destroy them all. She hides their fates and their deaths. She hides the downfall of their world. A bored prince brings her out of prison, thinking her to be his entertainment, his amusement, against the wisdom of his High Advisor. But with the angry son of the captain of the guards thrown into the battle, everything becomes far more dangerous. This is not a child's tale. This is not a story. This is a tale as old as time about the treacheries and dangers of trusting somebody who has a heart colder than ice itself.
