Thranduil follows his instinct and discovers a badly injured elleth buried unconscious in the snow, and takes her back to the palace to heal. Fearing she won't survive, he dedicates everything to ensure that she pulls through, but when she does, she has deep, dark secrets which she refuses to share. She slowly begins to trust him, but refuses to leave his side or come out from under his protection. Eventually she speaks, giving him a cryptic warning which confuses and bewilders him. Further investigation proves that what she has foretold is true, and fear spreads throughout the realm as he gathers forces in a bid to thwart the destruction of Middle Earth. Can his allies help him in a quest to protect the world as he knows it, or will darkness rule, taking with it the elleth whom he has fallen in love with? Thranduil fights hard against both evil and the destructive past of a shattered being, who it seems has a story that she must Live To Tell.
