Summary
The Lord of the Rings teaches that even in great darkness, there is good worth fighting for. But what happens when you fight for that good — and fail?
In the year 1310, Findis Aratarinië and Ingwion Laimarindil are granted a daughter — a child meant to bind the lines of Ingwë and Finwë, though the latter are decidedly absent, in heart and in presence.
Over the centuries, she will earn many names: the Queen of the Dawn, She of Sweetened Words, the Lady of Ash.
But in the beginning — before blood, before loss — she is simply Elvorië Alyariniel: a princess never meant to inherit, nor to leave.

In a far away land, Arvrenil Leihbethril, the Queen of the Dawn, took up her sword and brought it down upon her own chest, ending her life in just the span of a second. And her death was unnoticed, for those who had once loved her had long since let her go, and when her body fell, untethered, no one was left to catch it.
But what decides a person’s worth?
A tragic death, or the entire life before it?
