Characters: Lindir, Gandalf, Erestor, Glorfindel, Radagast, Elrond, Celebrían, Arwen, Elladan, Elrohir, Melpomaen, Galadriel, Celeborn, The Witch King, Nazgul, Sauron, Haldir, Weezil the otter
Summary: The orphaned Lindir is taken to live with Elrond and Celebrían, who raise him as their son. When Celebrían sails twenty years later, he feels her loss just as keenly as Elrond's children. Lindir's siblings are horrible to him but he has powerful friends. Plus, Lindir doesn't help the situation - he does magic research experiments on his siblings and sees no reason not to continue. Maybe that was why Gandalf sent him an amulet of protection, or maybe not.
On the way to Lothlórien, Lindir meets Radagast the Brown, who hints at secrets in Lindir's past. They are attacked by killer plants and spiders, and escape, only to find themselves deep in a dark part of the forest, facing the Witch King and his Nazgul.
How will Lindir survive?
Will help come in the nick of time?
What part will the mysterious amulet play?
Lindir's fate forces the family to confront explosive, painful and unspoken secrets: the huge deception around Lindir's birth, twenty-five years previous, and his part in what happened to Celebrían, and the even more secret aftermath.
Will the family survive or will it be blown apart?
Lindir tells it all, leaving no stone unturned, and as unrepentant as ever!
