   Summary

   In the aftermath of the First Kinslaying, the only daughter of Fëanor struggles with her guilt and grief and watches her family fall apart. When her beloved eldest brother is kidnapped, she resorts to desperate measures to rescue him and finds herself trapped in a place of darkness and terror- and against all hope, she finds love and joy in the least likely person. They build a life and a family together in a terrible place, and slowly but surely, they change one another.
