The Raven's Blade I - A Distant Light
Kili survived the battle of the five armies, thought he lost his home again. Decades later a grim dwarven warrior comes across a man searching for Imladris. Thus begins a journey across the lone lands that will lead into war. 29 chapters.
The Raven's Blade II - Durin's Bane
Sequel to "A Distant Light". An old and powerful curse still holds sway over Durin's House. How far does one Captain go to save a friend, to save his King? How much can one man bear and will he risk fate itself to do it? 26 chapters.
The Raven's Blade III - The Twilight Years
The battle for Erebor is over and the Dwarven Exiles are returning home to rebuild their kingdom, best that they know how with all the changes the road heaped on them. All is not well and strife and contention still are abound, and in the north an ancient dark power whispers in the deeps. 31 chapters.
The Raven's Blade IV - The Heart of Journey
The paths are set, all leading into the Great War, but the path is twisted, the answers are changed and the past shadows the steps of those who dare to face the Shadow again. The journey is coming full circle, but where does the circle end? 26 chapters but not finished yet.
Why do I recommend it?
A very interesting AU that turns around somewhere down the way and follows an alternate timeline of itself. Sounds confusing? It isn't... well, not much. The complex storyline goes through the entire series, and while there are some aspects that I don't like very much (the various wyrm-creatures, for example, and the way too much magic for a Tolkienverse fanfic), all in all it's an impressive and captivating epos. Plus, it has Boromir. Lots of Boromir. And Alternate!Boromir, too. Yes, I'm shallow, but there isn't enough Heroic!Boromir out there.
