   Summary

   Erchirion, the irrepressible second son of Prince Imrahil, is a man accustomed to taking what the world offers. A chance meeting with the gentle Nimrodel, a maid of the lower quarter, brings him face to face with someone unseen and naïve to the ways of power. When an impulsive romance blooms between them, neither fully confronts the chasm that lies between their worlds.

   Misunderstanding, pride, and unequal power turn tenderness into ruin. While Erchirion fights in the War of the Ring, Nimrodel fights a quieter war at home, paying for love with blood and anonymity.

   But when peace comes, it cannot erase what was broken. Can they set aside pride and defy convention to find the happiness they both deserve?
