To Steal a Ring: A Middle Earth Story

Gold. It looked nice on the hilts of swords, or gilded into wine glasses, or around the necks of Gondorian noblewomen. But none of that mattered to Dalen. He was a practical man. What mattered was that it fetched a good price from those who were willing to buy it. And he was willing to get his hands dirty to do the fetching. But that all changed in a single night when Dalen made a deadly mistake. A mistake that would haunt him and change his life forever.

Set between the events of The Lastborn and The Sands of Rhun, about ten years before Frodo left the Shire with the One Ring.
