    Summary

    “Oh Elrond, you and I have lived long enough to know that ordinary people arrive at extraordinary cruelty by forgetting the past in perfectly reasonable increments as they plan for the future. I fear that the descendants of two children found sobbing beneath a bed amidst the ruins of their birthplace may one day come to lay waste to the cradles of another’s civilisation.”
    ___________________

    In Fourth Age Gondor, King Elessar is set to unite the Harad city-states under the banner of the White Tree, whilst Arwen struggles with her father’s legacy and her own mortality. But as the date for the surrender and subsequent transfer of power draws nearer, a Haradrim campaign of resistance and subterfuge ramps up in Minas Tirith, and with Maglor Fëanorian’s unexpected appearance in the city, the descendants of Elrond and Elros Peredhel find they can no longer ignore the reopening wounds of First Age Beleriand.

    A story of Harad and the West, from the Union of Maedhros to the King’s Peace of Gondor.

    Summary

    Once, in infancy, he was their child-king to be, heir of Elu Thingol and Lúthien Tinúviel and Dior Elúchil. Now, he is an open wound. They love him, they welcome him, they are as kind as they can be, but a thousand little things about him make them flinch. Inheritors of a culture lost and burned and fragmented, they can never take a king who constantly reminds them of their enemies.

    The immediate foes outside him, the servants of Angband, are easy to fight. His other enemies are inside him, have made him one of them, and he cannot escape.

    Elrond grapples with identity, belonging, and family in the wake of his unusual upbringing.
