'Where now the horse and the rider?'

Prequel to 'Rain on the Mountain'.

Before the storm clouds of war gathered.
Before the growing shadow in the East took form.
Before the Riddermark knew the choking hold of a wizard's malice. 
Before the illegitimate daughter of a King set her feet to the path before her. 

In a world of men; of Kings and Lords, of Marshals and Stewards, Théadain, daughter of Théoden, must fight for her place among them. Whilst the roles of those around her are clearly defined, history and tradition have written no place for a bastard in the Golden Hall. 

She will not let circumstance define her, for the spirit of a Shieldmaiden of Rohan is strong. Her love for her land is fierce,  and she will not let adventure pass her by. 

Book 2 in the 'Lament for the Rohirrim' Series. 

[Book 1 - 'Rain on the Mountain' follows Théadain's journey with the Fellowship of the Ring.]

Aleana and Aragorn by RubabShaukat

Aleana is the daughter of Gandalf the Grey and a dear friend to Frodo Baggins. When the ring falls in the possession of Frodo, Gandalf asks Aleana to look after him, helping him to get the ring to Mordor to destroy it. Along the journey she meets many foes, but many friends as well. As well as a chance for love with a handsome Ranger from the North. But darkness dwells among Middle Earth and haunts her mind. Before she knows it, Aleana is fighting two battles. The one before everyone and the one in her mind. Will she have the courage to be victorious or will she fail and fall to the depths of evil? Perhaps it is love she needs to prevail, but how sure can she be that she will receive that love when the one she loves belongs to someone else?

The Price of Pride by artalicous

It all began with an impossible quest: to kill Legolas, the Woodland Elf, the treacherous figure accused of offering his mother to the Dark Lord and murdering her with his own hands. Driven by the need for resources to explore Middle Earth and combat the encroaching darkness, she accepted the perilous mission. But were the rumors true? Would she succeed in slaying the elf and claiming the reward, or would her journey uncover a deeper truth, compelling her to abandon the quest and risk her own life in the process? The line between hunter and hunted blurs in this riveting tale of deception, danger, and destiny. Dive into a world where every decision teeters on the edge of life and death, and discover the secrets that lie beneath the surface of a war-torn Middle Earth. This story unfolds of the War of the Ring, beginning a few months before the Council of Elrond and extending into the dawn of the Fourth Age. Our journey starts by establishing the setting, introducing the characters, and delving into the central narrative focusing on Legolas and Xena. However, this is just the beginning. Prepare yourself for a lasting adventure filled with intertwined conflicts, the seductive allure of the Ring, and the ever-evolving dynamics among our captivating cast of characters. At its heart, this narrative celebrates the spirit of adventure shared by the Fellowship of the Ring, highlighting the bonds of friendship and the depth of love in turbulent times. The central theme is a slow-burning romance between Legolas and Xena. It is a tale of adversaries who become rivals, then friends, and eventually lovers. It promises to be a challenging read but one that is ultimately rewarding.

How did it come to this? Loyal to her family, her lands and her people, Théadain, the illegitimate daughter of Théoden, King of Rohan, has little concern for the world that lies beyond her familiar grasslands. When all that she loves is threatened, she must risk the position she has fought long and hard to earn, plunging herself into a conflict she never sought. As she learns of the rising darkness in far off corners of her world, she begins to realise that her fate may lead her beyond the familiar, and may entwine with the fates of others in ways she could never have foreseen.

Daughter Of Lórien || Book 1|| by LightofLaurelin

Celebríel is the first-born daughter of Lord Elrond and Lady Celebrían, though her parentage is not easily recognized. Unlike her other siblings, she does not carry the features of her father. Rather, she bears a striking resemblance to her grandmother, the Lady Galadriel, with deep golden hair and a tall, slender figure; though her silver-ringed evergreen eyes belong to her alone. On her first visit to Mirkwood with her brothers Elladan and Elrohir, she is both enraptured and mystified by the strangely different Woodland Realm, particularly with a certain ill-tempered prince. Her distaste for him proves to be mutual, but something else simmers beneath the surface. Days turn into weeks, and Celebríel and Legolas must work together as challenges arise from both Mirkwood and Rivendell. But as she and the prince grow closer, Celebríel begins to question whether it is truly fate that ties the thread between them. For the Woodland Realm is enmeshed in secrets, and all may not be what it seems when they begin to unravel... ~~~ Book 1 of the "Daughter of Lórien" Trilogy [LotR Fanfiction] This story occurs before the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. *I own nothing except my original characters.
