   Summary

   Heruwine is a Rider of Rohan and a talented bard who is wounded in the Battle of Pelennor Fields. Tawarien is a humble assistant at the Houses of Healing in Minas Tirith, who fled from her home when her family was lost. Together, they make a life after the War of the Ring.

   PREVIEW:
   "After that, they did not cease talking. They talked about seemingly everything in the world, and they exchanged letters when the days got busy for her – letters filled with fanciful endearments and arresting observations that he wrote laboriously with his left hand. Before long, she requested the night watch just so they could be together, and by then, they were doing more than just talking."
