Before the dragon, Smaug, took Erabor, the dwarves found something far more dangerous... Skyrena was raised in Mirkwood, never realizing that she was the last shapeshifter in all of Middle Earth. Banished for what she is, she wandered for years until she found Dale. There, she meets Thorin, son of Thrain, and is taken to live among the dwarves. Bond by an oath of loyalty, she joins the dwarves on their quest to reclaim Erabor. Alongside Bilbo and Gandolf, she not only learns about her people and their demise, but she becomes one of the most unlikely heroes in this tale.
