Interlude between "A Single Dream..." and "Come to Morning..." as seen through Thorin Oakenshield's eyes. After the battle of Erebor, in the time that Lyla Baggins is recovering, Thorin's mind is drawn to the hobbit's fascination and appreciation for flowers and trees, thus sparking a small project and the humming of a certain song.

Lyla Baggins. A hobbit, with a Tookish streak, had done what most other hobbits never dared to do: she went on an adventure. And now, the war was over, the company safe and Erebor was beginning to rebuild. But Lyla could feel the stirrings of something on the horizon, something that set her heart racing. Something familiar and dark seemed to haunt her dreams, shadowing her footsteps. And deep down she knew her adventures weren't over quite yet. Not while she had that blasted ring in her possession. Part 2 of the "Edge of Night" Series

Lyla Baggins, a respectable hobbit, with a Tookish streak, agrees to follow a group of dwarves far to the East, over ranges and rivers, to reclaim their homeland. Her mission is simple: defeat a dragon and convince the leader of the company, Thorin Oakenshield, to trust her. That may prove difficult, though, since he doesn't even know that she's a girl.
