Éomer of Rohan returns to Gondor to visit his sister and Faramir in Emyn Arnen. There also he finds a changed Lothíriel, or a changing Lothíriel - something unexpected and inconvenient, anyway. Amidst diplomatic disasters, chats about the weather, and the fair woods of Ithilien, Lothíriel ponders what she wants in life, and Éomer must decide what he wants in love.

Lothíriel of Dol Amroth and Éomer of Rohan are thrown together after the War of the Ring, and it doesn't go well. Misunderstandings, rash judgements and misdirected resentment in a tale as old as time.
