The complete 12-book History of Middle-earth, printed in three
volumes and set in a matching box. J.R.R. Tolkien is famous the
world over for his unique literary creation, exemplified in The
Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. What is less
well known, however, is that he also produced a vast amount of
further material that greatly expands upon the mythology and
numerous stories of Middle-earth, and which gives added life to the
thousand-year war between the Elves and the evil spirit Morgoth,
and his terrifying lieutenant, Sauron. It was to this enormous task
of literary construction that his Tolkien's youngest son and
literary heir, Christopher, applied himself to produce the
monumental and endlessly fascinating series of twelve books, The
History of Middle-earth. This very special collector's edition
brings together all twelve books into three hardback volumes --
over 5,000 pages of fascinating Tolkien material -- and places them
in one matching box.
An exiled princess teams up with the last man she thought she could
trust in the start of an immersive debut fantasy series filled with a
sizzling reluctant allies-to-lovers romance, a world to get lost in,
dangerous quests, and dragon bonds.
She is vengeance. He will be her sword.
No one in Imirath had ever seen a dragon, until five eggs long thought
fossils hatched in the presence of their young princess, Elowen Atarah.
Fearing the power his daughter would wield through her soul-bond with
the creatures, King Garrick imprisoned her for many years, desperately
trying to break the bond that united them, until a daring rescue saved
Elowen from his clutches - but left her five precious dragons at his
mercy.
Years later, Elowen is now a woman determined to free her dragons.
Having established a queendom of her own, she is ready to do whatever
is necessary to save her people from starvation and seek vengeance
against her father. Even if that means leaving the home she built for
herself. Or having to align herself with the Commander of Vareveth,
Cayden Veles, the most feared and dangerous man in all the kingdoms of
Ravaryn and her father's sworn enemy.
Cayden promises to help Elowen if she will stand with him and all of
Vareveth in the pending war against Imirath. Despite their contrasting
motives, Elowen can't ignore their undeniable attraction as together
they plot to infiltrate her father's impenetrable castle to steal back
her dragons and seek revenge on their common enemy.
The pull between Elowen and Cayden becomes impossible to resist, even
when trusting each other seems both reckless and essential. But with
the threat of war looming over them, the imminent heist will be their
most dangerous adventure yet.
