"Valar above, Thranduil...it's a title, not a viper," Adar grumbled, rubbing his forehead just under his crown. We stood in the anteroom bickering in undertones while, on the other side of this closed door, the tightly-arranged benches of the gathering hall filled with an eager kingdom.

His eager kingdom. Not mine.

Thrust into the perils of politics at a young age, Thranduil must help his father hold a young, struggling kingdom together, meanwhile trying to buck King Oropher's growing expectations and live a somewhat normal life. But life never goes according to plan, and when Thranduil falls in love with an elleth he was never meant to notice, his life takes an unexpected path of breathtaking intimacy, heartbreaking loss, hard-earned victory, brutal personal struggles, and soulful healing.
