   Summary

   This is a translation of The Black Book of Arda (first edition, 1995), one of the most influential texts of the post-soviet Tolkien fandom. Written in the 90's, it's a retelling of The Silmarillion from Melkor's point of view. Almost. Not quite.

   Summary

   Blackmailed into attending one of her cousin's notorious parties deep in the mountains of Mordor, Galadriel finds herself trapped in the labyrinth that is Barad-dûr castle playing a deadly game. Haunted by missing memories, a family curse, and a sinister power that stalks the darkened halls, Galadriel - along with her newfound ally, Halbrand - finds herself in a race against time to save what matters most.

   Or die trying.
