During the first age, when Beleriand itself stands on the brink of destruction and Doriath falls from the height of glory to begin its long decline, Celeborn, a Sindarin prince as quick to wisdom as he is to anger, meets Artanis, a Noldorin princess plagued by a dark secret, and they soon find themselves plunged into a world of intrigue, lies, and mystery as ties grow turbulent.

In happier times, the sons of Finwë attend a festival together where Arafinwë meets a mysterious young lady. Soon enough, trouble is afoot...but who is she, and was it all an accident or did his brothers have a hand in the trouble all along? One chapter short story.
