~ The sequel to "Daughter of Beorn" has been released! Check it out! It's called "The Skin-Changer Prophecy." ~ Gandalf looked down at the small child partially hidden behind the skin-changer's legs. Her green eyes sparkled as she tossed a small pebble at the stranger's feet before giggling. The mischevious little one then toddled off a bit to chase a butterfly that had caught her attention. "She cannot stay here." Beorn said. "It is unsafe for a child. I do not want her to... be exposed. To my other form." "You seem to forget that she is your daughter." The wizard replied, shifting as a small breeze came through the forest. "And I am not trained in the art of raising children." The two men momentarily turned their gazes back to young Kyja, who was too occupied following the winged insect. Compassion soon struck the wizard's heart. "Yet... there is someone that could care for her. He is an odd fellow, relates more to animals than any other living creature- but he is genuinely kind, and will be able to assist Kyja in the following years. Radagast the Brown is his name." And so, the journey begins. Far into adulthood, Kyja is introduced to a completely new world when Gandalf proposes an offer- to join a band of dwarves to help them save their homeland. Haunted by past memories and scars, the skin-changer is forced to come to terms with her own history while accepting the new fate she has been given. Humility, love, and sacrifice are only some of the lessons learned in: Daughter of Beorn. ~ All ideas, concepts, and plot lines pertaining to The Hobbit all belong to J.R.R. Tolkien. Nevertheless, the creation of Kyja and any additional characters not in the original piece are mine. The cover photo is not mine. ~

What if Beorn wasn't the last of his kind? Radagast's apprentice is sent, quite unwillingly, along on Thorin's quest. What will happen when she proves herself useful in more ways than one?

The Blue Mountains, region of the kingdom Belegost, has been Teryn's home since birth. She grew up under the strict watch of her nurses and in the shadow of her older and fairly talented siblings. She was the fourth child of Goignus and Raella, which put her in a position of a Dwarven princess. Once the Battle of the Five Armies was won and settled, King Thorin reclaims Erebor; just in time for Fili to pass the age where one becomes wed. Teryn is sent to the kingdom of carven stone to follow orders in becoming the princess of Erebor; but Fili is not so easily swayed towards this idea. He is cold to her; she distant to him.
