   Summary

   While her kin prepare to sail west, Galadriel chooses instead to remain, chasing the fragile promise of mending what Morgoth poisoned in Middle-earth.

   On that path she meets a man bound by chains both seen and unseen, and survival pulls them closer than either intended. With every step, that closeness cuts deeper into the secrets he hides.

   Blinded by hidden temptations, she reaches toward a salvation already claimed by shadows.
