UNFINISHED - Underneath the skin (An Unexpected Journey)

In the vast tapestry of Middle earth, a hidden story awaits discovery. 'Underneath The Skin' follows Ezhelldir, a character full of secrets whose fate intertwines with legends forgotten and untold.

Ezhelldir's unknown existence is shattered when Gandalf the Gray invites him on a momentous quest to reclaim the dwarven kingdom of Erebor. Believed to have been exterminated by a pale Gundabad orc, Azog the Defiler, the race of skin-changers was thought to have perished save for the lone survivor, Beorn. Yet, unknown to most, a few skin-changers survived, concealing themselves from the world for a thousand years.

Roughly in the year TA 2840-2841 approximately a hundred years before the quest, Gandalf, traveling near an ancient forest, was ambushed by an orc pack.

What will Gandalf do?

Read and find out.

'Underneath the skin' at first was just some random dreams I had that I wrote down and ideas I've gotten while watching The Hobbit movies, but after a lot of convincing from a couple of my friends I published it, and when I realized that people are actually reading my book, I decided to make it real.

A big thank you to those who read my book, it makes me feels confident that what I'm doing is actually worth it.
