The Return of the Shadow (330): juno_magic
URL: http://tolkienfanfiction.com/Story_Read_Chapter.php?CHid=2472
R, Reason for Rating: Mature themes: explicit sex and violence in
some chapters.
Romance Partners: Mina/Elentar
"The Return of the Shadow" is the sequel of both "The Tides of Time
and the Bones of the Earth" and "Only a Game". It also ties in
with "Lothíriel - The Tenth Walker Novel". It is based in part on
book, in part on movie canon, but most of all on the canon of
the "Juniverse".

It is the story of a misplaced elf, living homeless in the streets
of Berlin and a Tolkien scholar in her late thirties. Meeting
Elentar, a homeless street musician, Mina does not realize that he
is more than a vagabond. She is merely intrigued by him because he
sings in Sindarin.

In time, the story reveals who Elentar is, how he came to be here on
earth, and maybe it will even accompany him back to Middle-earth...

"The Return of the Shadow" is only the first book of a series
called "The Fourth Theme of the Ainulindalë". I expect the book to
be completed at about 30 chapters, around a quarter of the whole
series.

determinations and calculated efficiency. For decades she has killed
and obliterated with no thought or emotion and, up until recently,
had no conscience, or knowledge of what it meant to possess one.
After centuries of warfare and, having survived a violent existence
for which she was purposefully created, she now finds herself
entering an alien and emotion-filled world, something she is not
equipped to deal with. Unbeknownst to her, the battle to embrace her
humanity has begun...but, by whose hand shall she face down her
demons? Eternal enemies, Good and Evil ply mercilessly for her
