Dedicated to my friends Jessi, Patrick & Dylan.

The New Shadow is an unfinished thriller by J.R.R. Tolkien, set in the Fourth Age of Middle-earth, about 100 years after the events of The Lord of the Rings. It was meant to be a sequel, that takes place around the end of the reign of Aragorn's son, Eldarion, and the return of darkness to Gondor despite Sauron's defeat. The fragmentary narrative explores the discontent brewing among the people, who have begun to lose faith and revert to old, evil practices.

The story's main character, Borlas, an elderly man who remembers the history of the War of the Ring, speaks with a younger man named Saelon, who hints at the rise of a sinister cult among Gondor's youth. There is a sense of unease as Borlas suspects that Saelon may be involved with these dark forces.

Tolkien, however, abandoned the story after about 13 pages, feeling that it lacked the same depth as his previous works and that the primary conflict of Middle-earth had already been resolved with Sauron's fall.All Rights Reserved

The Odyssey of the daughter of the forest by Plumedelouest

In the dark forest of Mirkwood, shadows are growing, again and again. The leaves are becoming black, as the roots, and as the trees. Birds are not singing anymore. Flowers have disappeared. Even the sun has trouble to light the ground of the forest, once so alive and full of colours. A young elf with red hair is fighting every day for her people, who is retreating before its enemy, who is sending his troups from his black tower, in the south of Middle Earth. Orcs are coming, more and more numerous on their lands. The company of Thorin Oakenshield from the Blue Mountains will not succes to put an end to this invasion. Their fight will just postpone the deadline, by sacrifying many lives, and destroying many others. And by seperating for a while the path of two lovers, who are destined to meet again. Sixty years later, the elf joins the fellowship to save Middle Earth, once and for all, from the threat that are gliding above its people, for a long time. In this quest for freedom, will there be a place for love, hidden for so much time ? The Valars know the answer. Cette histoire existe aussi en français, sur mon compte.

Even Moria isn't the same. Sequel to The Other Ranger, but easily standalone.

Dreams of Power [ Lord of the Rings x Silmarillion ] by Silmarilz1701

Fourth Installment in the Fëanoriel Chronicles. It is Year 50 of the Fourth Age of Middle Earth. The Reunited Kingdom prospers, having mostly recovered from the Battle for Arnor fifteen years prior. Relations are being fostered between their neighbors, including the elves of Ithilien, the dwarves of Aglarond, and men of Rohan, Harad, and Dunland. Minas Tirith has become a hub of activity and growth. But all that is about to change. Rhûn, still at odds with the Reunited Kingdom, and a stronger nation than ever, has been taken over by a leader known in Gondor's past as the only truly evil queen. With a necromantic ritual, the Queen of Cats is brought back and she wants to return home. She wants her throne back. Prince Eldarion and his companions now face a threat truly beyond their comprehension. Damning consequences are inevitable. * First Place in Fanfiction in the Aluris Awards * First Place in Fanfiction in the Grand Dame Awards (Majestic Inc.) * Fun fact: storyline is partly inspired by The Wolf Queen Awakens quest line from Skyrim, and Queen Potema's history.

Echoes of Middle-earth: Theo's Journey by TheodoreMartin8

In Echoes of Middle-earth: Theo's Journey, Theodore Martin, a modern-day teenager, is mysteriously transported from his ordinary life into the legendary world of Middle-earth. Stranded in a realm of epic battles, ancient lore, and mythical creatures, Theo's arrival sets in motion a new thread in the tapestry of Middle-earth's history. Guided by the noble Aragorn, who becomes more than just a protector, Theo must navigate the treacherous lands of Middle-earth, from the shadowed forests of Bree to the towering peaks of the Misty Mountains. Along the way, he encounters familiar faces from legend and forges bonds that transcend time and worlds. As Theo discovers the courage within himself, he also grapples with feelings he never expected-feelings that connect him deeply to Aragorn in a way neither anticipated. Together, they face the growing darkness that threatens all they hold dear, and Theo learns that true strength lies not only in the sword but in the heart. Echoes of Middle-earth: Theo's Journey is a tale of adventure, love, and self-discovery, where the echoes of the past resonate through a new and unexpected friendship that could change the fate of Middle-earth itself.
