Summary
The day Thalia leaves her abusive husband, she never expects to be knocked from the summit of a Blue Ridge mountain into Middle-earth on the eve of the Council of Elrond.
An Army reservist and search-and-rescue volunteer from modern-day Virginia, Thalia knows exactly how the story is supposed to end due to her lifelong fascination with Tolkien. And she has no desire to become part of it. But after hearing her impossible tale, Elrond refuses to send her home. Convinced the timing of her arrival is no accident, he names her the tenth member of the Fellowship and forbids her from revealing what she knows of the future until the time is right.
The decision is met with more than a little resistance. Especially from Boromir, who has no intention of dragging an untested woman into the wilds. Determined to prove she belongs, Thalia sets out with the Fellowship, knowing every friendship she forms and every choice she makes could alter the fate of Middle-earth.
What begins as mutual distrust between Thalia and the Captain of Gondor grows into an unexpected love that drives her to defy fate itself to keep him alive, whatever the cost.
