A Rings of Power ~ Adar Fanfic.
In a world where light and darkness coil together like serpents on the edge of a knife, three hearts beat in an uneasy rhythm-one scarred by betrayal, one bound by ancient light, and the third, a healer lost in the ruins of her past, driven by vengeance.
Adar, a fallen elf twisted by the hands of fate, had once longed for nothing more than to be a father. But now, the orcs-the distorted echoes of his lost dream-are the only children he will ever know. His skin, now grey as the ash left in his wake, bears the scars of torment and betrayal. He feels responsible for the creatures born from his torment, his twisted children, and will stop at nothing to free them from Sauron's grip. But even the shadows have chains of their own, and redemption comes with a price.
By his side walks a healer, a woman haunted by the destruction of her people. With power locked deep within her, she craves vengeance yet finds herself bound to a journey that will test her very soul.
Their path leads to Eryndra, an ancient fae queen, bound to a sacred forest. Her luminous beauty hides a deeper, more dangerous intent, and she holds the key to everything Adar seeks. But her price may be more than any of them can pay.
As hearts clash and secrets unravel, the lines between duty, love, and betrayal blur. In the coming storm, only one truth remains: no one will emerge unscathed.
Galadriel has seen more war in five years than most would experience in a lifetime. She and her brother, Finrod, commanded the Great War's most elite death squad: the Loriens. Together they completed untold thousands of missions, destroying some of the Enemy's most valuable strongholds and weapons. In the last crucial battle of the War, Finrod was killed by Sauron, an Enemy lieutenant of reputed cruelty on and off the battlefield. Morgoth was killed in the same battle, and the Loriens were sent home. Galadriel and her commandos were expected to re-assimilate with the civilian population. Galadriel has struggled to adapt for months; but with her brother gone and so many of the Enemy soldiers, including Sauron, at large, how can she put down the weapons that have kept her safe for so long?
Halbrand finally makes his way north to take refuge in the great city of Lindon, where a chance encounter with a half-elf lord puts him directly into the path of Galadriel. He's done fighting. It's time to atone for his misdeeds. If his identity is exposed, can he make the person who matters most to him understand?
The two journey to the Southlands, where an orc father is pursuing a secret of his own. What is Adar hunting?
That's a lot of very dramatic questions for a single description. All that cinematic fluff aside, I hope you'll take a look at my original fiction piece, as it has cost me many brain cells and many hours of sleep.
