   Summary

   You swore to serve High King Gil-Galad as his personal guard, becoming the shadow that protects his light. But suppressed feelings rise to the surface when you are injured in the line of duty. After nearly losing you, Gil-Galad struggles to maintain the expected line between King and guard. You, on the other hand, are more determined than ever to protect him, even from himself.

   Will you be able to navigate this dance of love and duty?
   Or will it drive you to break your pledge?
