Summary
After the first battle with Adar's forces, Eregion becomes a place of unrest, where elves try to create a weapon that can save Middle-earth. Galadriel brings the wounded Halbrand, who helps Celebrimbor control the mithril. When she discovers that Halbrand cannot be the king of the South, she becomes entangled in his dangerous game of appearances. She needs a symbol to save Middle-earth from darkness. He must decide whether he wants to be a king, a blacksmith, or perhaps someone much darker. In the shadow of the coming war, each of their meeting becomes an arena of passion, manipulation and ever deeper doubts. What will happen when Galadriel, torn between duty and her heart, allows herself to believe for the first time that one lie can save Middle-earth?
This is a story about what might have happened if, at the end of the first season, Sauron had not revealed his true identity to Galadriel.
