WATTYS SHORTLIST 2018 The heart desires the unreachable. A rare creature born of Middle Earth must undo the damage of her predecessor, who helped forge the Dark Lord's Ring of Power. Amidst her mental and physical weaknesses, she is challenged to become a warrior. If not, endless lives will be corrupted and extinguished. What is the key to defeating the shadows that threaten Middle Earth as well as the darkness that intends to smother her soul? Mirkwood is no exception to the kingdoms that are threatened by the Shadow. Instead of sailing to the undying lands, King Thranduil remains, creating a rift between him and Legolas, who stands against his father's pride and what appears to be insensibility. As he journeys with the Fellowship to destroy the Ring of Power, he begins to peel the layers of the mystery surrounding Mirkwood and himself - a mystery that draws him closer to the maiden that travels with them. The earthborn must sacrifice all to fulfill her destiny - desires for a peaceful life, family, fellowship, and love. Will those she journeys with encourage her selfless intentions, or will they challenge her being and all that she desires? Uncover the secrets of Mirkwood, witness the earthborn's battle, and discover the element of the heart. ***I do not own or have any affiliation with J.R.R.

While fighting alongside her father Gil-Galad before the Battle of the Last Alliance, Celoneth meets the Prince of Greenwood, with whom she becomes very close. After losing her father in the battle, Celoneth must return to her homeland of Lindon in the north to comfort her distraught mother and to assume her duties as Princess. It isn't until many years later that she meets, and fails to recognize, the very same Elven Prince again. NOTE: I am trying very hard to stick to Tolkien canon, obviously that is impossible with Original Characters (Gil-Galad is not known to have a wife or any children in Tolkien's work) but nonetheless, that is my attempt. Also, I know the cover sucks, I'll probably change it at some point.
