Summary
They say you can’t walk into Mordor. Veronica never meant to walk into the story at all. When a tragic accident sends the English teacher—and devoted Faramir enthusiast—tumbling from her world into Middle-earth, she is given a new name, Nicariel, and a dangerous secret to keep. Armed with foreknowledge of the War of the Ring and a scholar’s love for the gentle Captain Faramir, she believes she knows how the tale must unfold.
Her plans shatter at the Council of Elrond. To steer fate away from disaster, she exposes Boromir’s hidden temptation, branding herself both seer and adversary. Forced together on the Fellowship’s desperate quest, Nicariel and Boromir clash in a relentless battle of wills—each a living insult to the other’s deepest convictions.
But the road to Mordor strips away certainties. The noble Faramir is her dream made flesh, yet it is the proud, flawed, and infuriatingly compelling Boromir who challenges her at every turn, forcing her to question the very narrative she swore to protect.
Condemned for Wanting Both is a sweeping, emotionally charged fantasy about destiny, desire, and the cost of rewriting legend. The fate of Middle-earth is written. The fate of her heart is not.
