1 - A Chance Meeting

A young and skilled mercenary, Rose's past is more intertwined with Thorin Oakenshield and his dwarvish company than she cares to admit. It becomes a problem when Gandalf asks her to join the Quest to Erebor. She's willing to protect them against whatever dangers await them on the road to the Lonely Mountain, at any cost, but is she just as willing to admit the truth?
A story about protecting the ones you love, even when it's forbidden love.

The cover picture is not mine. It's Sophie Skelton as Ren from Ren: The Girl with the Mark. She perfectly matches what I've always imagined Rose to look like.
