When accounting graduate Nikki gets lost in the Kruger National Park, the last thing she expects is to be rescued by an Elvenking from another time. Pulled through a mysterious shimmer between eras, she finds herself in Middle-earth with Thranduil, where healing is slow, devotion is patient and love unfolds across centuries. A tale of two timelines, patient devotion and finding home in the most unexpected places.
