This novel begins as a coming of age story set in a time of war and its aftermath. Interaction by the characters with a dramatically changed Arda is not recounted with ponderous reverence, but with humor and sympathy for individuals who are flawed, passionate, funny, and conflicted. NOT your standard Eomer/Lothiriel romance.

The March warden of Lorien was never the proud and cold elf that he is now. An unexpected discovery scarred him forever, turning his heart into stone. Calavénë was the lady in waiting for Lady Galadriel. Can she change the March warden?
