FirstAgeFables
While Middle-earth writhes beneath a growing shadow ignored by the Valar, Lyriellë-a mysterious figure bound to neither light nor darkness-finds a partnership in Mairon. Together they vow to heal the abandoned realm, their ambitions sealed in blood.
When Mairon's vision twists from healing to control, Lyriellë flees to Beleriand where she meets Adar, an elven commander whose fierce protection of his people, harbors growing concerns about the darkness spreading across the land-a threat his king refuses to acknowledge. When Lyriellë, a mysterious wanderer, arrives in Doriath, neither she nor Adar realize how their fates will intertwine.
Morgoth's lieutenant, Mairon weaves deceptions, luring elves-including Adar-with false promises. After Adar vanishes, Lyriellë spends centuries searching every shadow of Middle-earth and the Halls of Mandos for him. In the Second Age, when her attempt to raise an army of the dead for her own purpose unexpectedly summons the very soul she never ceased seeking-Adar himself, however, this reunion has complications.
