    Summary

    Artanis witnesses the first Kinslaying as the sea turns red with her people’s blood. When she confronts Fëanor alone, his long‑hidden obsession snaps, and he takes her by force onto the stolen ships, dragging her into exile. Thus begins the journey of the Rebel Noldor Princess, unwilling, furious, and unbroken. In Middle‑earth, Sauron, already risen in shadow, sees Fëanor arrive with Artanis at his side and demands her as payment, igniting a dangerous power struggle between fire and shadow over the one prize neither intends to surrender.

    Summary

    There is, however, one door that yet stands, though it too is choked over by vines. Its outline – a dark stone arch – just barely visible beneath the foliage, sits like the hunched back of some great sleeping beast. No matter where in her grove she rests she can always see it lurking there at the edge of her vision. She knows who waits on the other side. It has been many, many years since he last tried to gain entry, but he has always shown her a level of patience he extended to no other. She is not foolish enough to think that has changed.

    It is to this private bower within herself that Galadriel retreats while she anticipates the arrival of the ring.

    Summary

    The magic is always just there on the periphery of his lands, threatening to spill over. Sometimes he swears he can feel it in the earth beneath his feet, taste it in the water, clear and bright and so utterly unlike his own. The flowing currents of it had drawn him to these lands, led him to stake his own claim and build his fortress along the borders of the Golden Wood. He knows who resides within, hiding herself away amidst the forest’s glittering bowers.

    Summary

    He was silent for a moment. She heard his cloak rustle, the sound of his hand grasp one of the bars. The gentle tap of his rings against the metal filled her ears, and she shut her eyes.

    “When you denied an alliance with me, I found other means of quenching my thirst.”

    “For violence and depravity?” she shot back.

    “For vengeance,” he hissed. “Just as you sought yours. Keep your righteousness to yourself. I care not for it. These Men, these Númenóreans, fought against me in the Great War. Slew countless lives. With their pride and their arrogance in their mighty goodness. They thought they were better than the rest of us as you yourself believed you were better than me.” His voice dropped to a whisper. “I wanted to see them suffer. I have achieved so much more than that.”

    During Ar-Pharazôn’s rule of Númenor when Sauron holds the position of the High Priest of Melkor, Galadriel is captured in the middle of a war, imprisoned, and handed over to him as a sacrifice to be made in the Temple of the High Priest, but Sauron has other plans. From Akallabêth to the founding of Gondor, unlikely allies are forged.
