Before Frodo's journey began, the shadows had already returned... Sauron, the Dark Lord of Mordor, has risen once more-his power spreading far beyond the black land and into the wild North. There, the Witch-King of Angmar stirs old terrors, unleashing a forgotten enemy upon the remnants of Númenor's proudest line. The Dúnedain, last of the kings of men, stand on the brink of extinction. And only one stands in the way. Gerithor, a nineteen-year-old ranger burdened with a legacy he barely understands, must rise to meet a threat older and darker than he's ever known. As war looms and allies falter, his choices will echo across the age-and shape the world to come.

Come now, and hear the tale of Gerithor, Lastborn of the Dúnedain... **No copyright infringement intended** CURRENTLY EDITING (Highest rank: #11 in Ranger)

I wasn't always this way. I wasn't always a monster. I used to have a home, and a family. I was kind, good, filled with life. I never did anything wrong. So why did it happen? Why was everything that I loved taken away from me? Why was I stripped of my light? Why do bad things happen to good people? I have no answers, and I doubt that anyone does. My story is one of loss, betrayal, and pain. My story does not have a happy ending, and after everything I have done, I do not deserve one.

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.

Join Gerithor, Glorfindel, and many other valiant warriors of Middle Earth as they seek to defend all that is good from falling into eternal darkness.

There is no escape, not for me. I have tried so hard to forget but the memories keep coming back. I don't sleep anymore, if I close my eyes my mind floods with their screams. The screams of those I've hurt, because I murdered the ones they love. I can't keep running, I have no where to run. I can't hide, they will find me. There is no way out of the endless shadows. I am a slave to the darkness. And no matter how much I fight, I will never be free.
