Legolas/OC Romance/Adventure. Even after the Ring's destruction, evil still lurks in Middle Earth. Legolas uncovers an ancient threat, one that could spell the doom of men and elves. Legolas promised Aragorn he'd start an elven colony in Gondor...only leadership was never Legolas' forte. He's recruiting elves from his realm and Lothlorien, but not all of them are gung-ho Legolas fans! In fact, some of them are downright resentful. He's struggling to make things work before they even reach the colony. And if he weren't having enough problems, he and his scouts encounter something truly terrible...all on the way to Building Ithilien. Cover Art Credit: "Elven Archer" by John Alvin.
