    Summary

    Galadriel arrives in Númenor not in armor, but in silk—posing as someone she's not, here to offer a helping hand to a struggling nation. She tells the Queen she’s here to advise. In truth, she’s hunting something: a fire cult that rose too fast, too fervently, and now sways the nobility like a second crown.

    At its center stands Mairon, the Queen’s high priest—beloved, gilded, and dangerous. A man whose sermons leave the city trembling, whose eyes burn like prophecy, and who is definitely not what he claims to be.

    As rituals grow bloodier and the court grows stranger, Galadriel finds herself drawn into a game of sermons, symbols, and late-night debates that sound suspiciously like seduction.

    Meanwhile, Mairon remembers another name. And beneath the temple, something old is still listening.
