   Summary

   Post-Shadow of War canon divergence.

   A year has passed since Celebrimbor's betrayal and the Battle of Barad-dûr. An unexpected chain of events is set into motion when Talion and Eltariel join the Fellowship on their quest to destroy the One Ring. The journey will test everyone in ways they could never imagine, and the bond between a cursed Ranger of the Black Gate and a fallen Elf-lord of legend will decide the fate of all Middle-earth.
