Description
Having not been out in the world for nearly twenty years Ianthe has been dying to wander again, and when an old friend visits she is anything but calm upon hearing of some dwarves quest. So when Gandalf comes to her cottage and claims to be in need of a guide and protector, she jumps at the opportunity. However the thought of leaving behind her father makes her doubt herself and her intentions. Ianthe's father is sure to reassure her that everything will be fine, and after some persuading it isn't long before she's packing up again and sent on her way to the Shire. There the young Mage meets the one and only Thorin Oakenshield, the fierce dwarf who battled Azog with nothing but an oak branch. Later she meets his two nephews, Fili and Kili, and for some reason she can't help but be drawn in by the young brunette prince. How does Ianthe cope with these new feelings for the dwarf, and how will the two of them grow closer together during this perilous journey?
