Summary
After the war, after the wound, Neteyam learns to lead from the planning ledge instead of the front line. You learn his body’s new limits as his healer, and then his mind’s burdens as his counsel. Seasons turn. The work is slow, the silences long, the trust between you a thing built in the quiet aftermath. This is how a future is forged; not in a moment, but in the thousand small choices to stay, to see, and to quietly, irrevocably, belong to one another.

Summary
Fíriel of Gondor made a fatal error: she refused the hand of Boromir, the Captain-General.
As punishment, the Steward Denethor has sold her to the North. She is to be the price of a new alliance with the Horse Lords. A bride for the Prince of Rohan to secure cavalry for the coming war.
But when Fíriel arrives at the wind-scoured hill of Edoras, she finds the Golden Hall rotting from within. The King is withered, the prince is absent, and the snake Gríma Wormtongue has altered the deal. Fíriel is not to be a Princess. She is to be pawned off on the King’s disgraced nephew: Éomer, the Third Marshal.
She is a lady of silk and high walls who prizes order. He is a warrior of wool and leather who smells of the stables.
Bound by a marriage neither wanted but united by a common enemy in the counselor who wishes them dead, Fíriel and Éomer must find a way to bridge the gap between Stone and Straw.
But first, she has to teach him how to take a bath.
[Arranged Marriage. Opposites Attract. Court Intrigue & Spice.]

Summary
“She was never meant to stay. He was never meant to love her.”
Born beneath the Morning Star, she moved like moonlight and breathed like the wind. The forests whispered her name. The creatures of Middle-earth followed her not with fear, but with love. She was a guardian of what the world forgot.
A protector of the wild and the wordless.
A light untouched by shadow… until now.
She walks the path with a sword drawn and sorrow held close, bound by silence, betrayed by kin.
But as darkness spreads, so does the truth.
No crown can hide it.
No silence can bury it.
This is not the story you’ve heard.
This is the one they tried to forget.Series

Summary
“He tastes my skin, Ninat. He breathes me in until my very bones feel like they are melting into the moss,” Neytiri whispered.
“He makes me beg for the Bond, and by the time we finally connect, the explosion is so great I think Eywa herself can hear my scream.”
Or, among the women of the Omaticaya, boasting about one’s mate is a source of competitive pride. But when Ninat suggests that the Sky-Man-turned-Olo'eyktan must be "clumsy" without the innate grace of the forest, Neytiri decides it is time to set the record straight.

Summary
Iskaia was born on the longest night of the year. Her life was a blessing from Eywa onto her father. She was no warrior, but she was strong of heart.
Like the branches of the Spirit Trees, Iskaia's life became irreversibly intertwined with the lives of Toruk Makto's children. Specifically that of his eldest son.
This is the story of the plight of the Sully family, as told by one of the only outsiders privy to it.
