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.

In which Summer Chase, an asian pizza delivery girl, gets torn up between two billionaires trying to best each other. "I'm just here to deliver pizza!" Alex shrugs. Handsome. "I know. But it'll be better if your service comes with an option to irritate my annoying cousin." I swear if he ever decides to smile, I'll be done. Done. "Such as?" He smiles. Goody. "Take one slice of his pizza and feed it to me." He seems to forget that his cousin, Cameron Lee, is notorious for his temper and tantrums. I seriously think that Alex Malifeci is trying to kill me.
