  Summary

  As an emissary of the gods - one of the istari sent by the Valar themselves - she had a purpose in this world. A task to fulfill. But after years of senseless wandering and cruel losses, even the most loyal servant can lose hope. She had done her part and yet - the great victory that was promised never came to be. And after all that has happened, after all that she has sacrificed for a higher purpose she did not believe in, Amara is fed up with the dealings of the gods. Especially now, being stuck with a fellowship she did not like on a journey she did not even think would succeed.

  or

  Three wizards and three witches - the istaris - were sent to fight off evil but after years of suffering and failures Amara is so done with the dealings of the gods.
