   Summary

   Thranduil’s realm has stood apart for centuries—silent, secretive, and sealed against the outside world. The aloof king trusts no one beyond his borders, least of all the grim and prideful Noldor.

   When young Prince Legolas, playful and curious despite his father’s stern warnings, strays too close to Imladris, he is captured by the infamous twin sons of Elrond. Elladan and Elrohir—war-hardened, merciless, and known for hunting orcs with cold precision—are not prepared for the golden-haired wood elf who stirs more than just suspicion.

   Bound by ancient grudges and deep scars, both realms stand on the edge of renewed conflict. But amid the tension, one of Elrond’s sons begins to see past the bloodlines and borders—to the light in Legolas that refuses to dim.

   And light has always drawn shadow.
