    Summary

    The war is over. The bureaucracy is not.
    There are many excellent reasons to send a Gondorian princess to Rohan.

    Trade negotiations. Diplomatic outreach. A noble gesture of post-war unity.
    Possibly even a quiet arrangement involving a marriage contract that someone forgot to mention to the princess.

    Lothíriel of Dol Amroth arrives with ledgers, grain, and the deep, weary grace of a woman who ran an entire city during a war and still wasn’t allowed to sign things in ink. She expected the usual diplomatic friction. She did not expect mud-slinging (literal and otherwise), misplaced marriage rumors, or Éomer King glaring at her like a badly translated poem.

    He expected a new trade agreement. Instead, he got a princess, armored in courtesy and extremely unimpressed.

    Summary

    Sauron had fallen but peace was far from won. There were other enemies in Middle-earth; ones who had for centuries been hiding behind Sauron’s evil, enemies known only to Lord Elrond and the one he trusts more than any other. Is Lothíriel, the Lady of Dol Amroth, daughter of Prince Imrahil, a mere pawn in their ongoing game, or is she the key to a lasting peace? Éomer, King of Rohan, will do anything to protect her, if only she will let him...

    True to Tolkien’s lore, this Trilogy encompasses the many ages of Middle-earth, explaining the fate of the Silmarils, the Blue Wizards, the Palantíri and many more unfinished tales.

    Summary

    Lothíriel had come to understand that a person's observational skills were paramount in combat. She had sharpened her mind when she hadn't been able to sharpen a sword, mastering the art of observation until she could perceive more than most. Because of this, she was certain that her husband hated her. They were at war with one another and she was determined to be the victor.

    Summary

    Éomer had mixed feelings when it came to love. He considered himself well beyond such things, cemented in the belief that romantic love was a novelty designed for young women and little girls, something that belonged in books because it made reality easier to contend with. He didn't doubt the possibility of love as a force; he simply doubted the extent of its reach.
