Long before the Quest of Erebor began, the Norns had woven a fate steeped in ruin - the fall of the Line of Durin. But fate, as the old gods know, can be challenged.
Gytha, a Moss Maiden born of the deep forests and old magic, once lived among her kin in harmony with the earth. That peace was shattered when a creeping darkness swept through her homeland, leaving her clan in ruin and forcing her into exile. Guided by her gods and haunted by what she's lost, Gytha follows a path that leads her to Thorin Oakenshield and his company of dwarves.
Bound now to a destiny not her own, she must wield her earth-born gifts to stand against the threads of fate itself. To save the sons of Durin, Gytha must defy the Norns, confront the darkness that destroyed her people, and risk her soul to rewrite the story of Middle-earth.
A tale of fate, love, and defiance - where one maiden's grief and one dwarf's hope could change the course of Middle-earth forever.

Ravonna The White
The time has come. Erebor still lies within the Lonely Mountain, and Smaug has not been sighted for years. The regal line of Durin must reclaim their homeland once more. But, when Gandalf the Grey tasks Ravonna the White, the greatest sorceress of Middle Earth, to join the Company, she faces many great obstacles that she never wished to encounter again.

Darkness had once again found a way to creep into and to corrupt her heart, but will Ravonna be able to banish it? Will she be successful in saving the line of Durin- or will she fail? This is a Fanfiction following the adventures of Thorin Oakenshield in J.R.R. Tolkien's novel, the Hobbit. DISCLAIMERS: 1. I do not own any of the characters besides from Ravonna. Aside from the main storyline, any other scenes or events are my own. All other rights go to J. R. R. Tolkien and Peter Jackson for the original works, the movies and novel of the Hobbit. I also do not own this image, credits go to it's rightful owner. 2. There are TONS of mistakes and plot errors in this book. PLEASE keep in mind that I started and finished this when I was only ELEVEN YEARS OLD. Because this was the first thing I ever wrote, know that this is not a representation of my best work (if you do want to another Thorin fanfic from me, check out Rue, now online). I don't mind criticism, but please be patient and enjoy the story for the substance, not necessarily the accuracy :) Sending much love to all of my fellow Tolkienites and thank you for all of your support so far! I hope you enjoy this story!Complete
Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One
Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.Complete

When Xara, the last-born of a vanished mage lineage, steps into the halls of Erebor on the eve of Durin's Day, she expects politics, mistrust, and the cold indifference of kings.

As orcish threats loom and old wounds stir, what begins as cautious alliance grows into a bond that defies blood and battle. But love between king and mage was never written in prophecy. Shadows gather. A bounty rises. And the mountain's heart is at stake.

But when blades fall and fate calls, Xara will give everything to shield the one who taught her the meaning of home. Their love was forged in battle, bound by magic, and crowned by the birth of a son - the heir to a legacy shaped by courage, sacrifice, and a devotion stronger than mithril.Complete
