Prequel to The Edge of a Knife No lands are safe. Nothing is safe. The elves of Mirkwood struggle to keep their darkening lands shielded from peril. As Legolas, the youngest son of Thranduil sets out in hopes of aiding his older brother in driving back the consuming shadows. A simple, yet life changing twist. War secretly approaches. Darkness creeps up on all lands; slithering across slyly, whipping mercilessly at sweet tendrils of light and hope. A hidden force, one that has been carelessly overlooked, threatens to take more than just Legolas' life; but turn it into a living nightmare. The once lighthearted and gentle Prince must fight the overpowering darkness that forcefully claims his whole being. If he should fail, he will fade.

Cursed elleth. Dragon. Thranduil. You finish the puzzle. residenthobbit49 :) Note: I am in the midst of editing the final couple of chapters - just in case the writing style suddenly seems different! Bear with me - but I still hope you enjoy it :)
