   Summary

   Before the Great Journey, Sauron beheld Helcelótë at Cuiviénen and understood with perfect clarity: she would be his. He beguiled her trust. And so she never reached the Blessed Realm.

   For centuries his design held flawless, until the sons of Fëanor came into his carefully ordered world. Oath-bound and unrelenting, Maedhros shattered the careful borders Sauron had drawn around his most prized possession. But Sauron does not like to yield what is his.
