Summary
After his mother's death, Maeglin had to navigate life in the city of Gondolin alone. His uncle was nothing but cold towards him, his cousin cruelly refused his love, and the people of the city turned their backs on the dark elf. Hatred festered in him, warped his mind to anger and cruelty, until an unlikely opportunity presented itself.
In return for giving up the location of the hidden city of Gondolin, the Dark Lord promised Maeglin the crown, but that was not all the dark elf wanted. With the House of the Mole at his back, his lover beside him, and his uncle chained beneath him, Maeglin starts his rule of the new Gondolin. As he works to rebuild and unite the city of elves, men, and orcs, there are dark forces at work that threaten his rule.
