    Summary

    Into the silence, his father had spoken. Quiet, so quietly, for unlike some of his brothers, he preferred not to shout. Celegorm was loud and brash, the fire exploding outwards, and Curufin the cold darkness that crept in and smothered the embers. He had reminded them of the Bragollach. He had reminded them that the Sons of Fëanor were not the worst of what was lurking there, that their Oath would be far better than the vengeance Morgoth would bring against Nargothrond and Doriath both.

    Nargothrond was safe. Its people did not feel safe enough to disbelieve him.

    Summary

    “The Maedhros who stands before his son is not one thing but many. He is a struck-down statue. He is a fading demon. He is a sword in a nuclear war. He is historical debris. He is the sum of a nation’s ruin. He is the first sunset of the Empire’s apocalypse. He is Elrond’s beloved Baba, who would find him under every starless sky. Archives will dissect him. Historians will redeem him. Writers will swallow him whole.”

    In 1937, notorious Indian revolutionary Maedhros Fëanorian and his brother Maglor, take in a British colonial officer's twin sons and raise them to adulthood. Decades later, Elrond Peredhel, trying to leave a family tragedy behind in England, returns to India during a time of political turbulence and finds that everything, from the national landscape to his firebrand father, the ineffable Comrade Maedhros, has changed. Chapter 19: Epilogue, Afterword and 'Alternate' Ending.

    The twins had been loved, fiercely, but that does not mean their childhood was in any way healthy.

    Summary

    “I wish you wouldn’t do this,” Lalwen complained in greeting. “Two brothers I have already lost, blindly charging that place. Must you add a third to my tally?”

     

    “Maybe,” Finarfin said bluntly. It was still gentler than the truth on his tongue: It’s my turn.

    (Or: in which Finarfin is, after all, the third son in the fairy tale.)
