Synopsis: Déoric, a young rider of Rohan, is crippled on the Pelennor and has little hope for his life and future after the war. But salvation comes when an unusual talent brings him to the attention of Éomer, and a position at the courts of Edoras …
Comments: A well-written story from an unusual perspective. Several canon characters make appearances, including a memorable cameo from Théoden’s old minstrel Gléowine, but the story belongs to Déoric and his friends and family. The character writing is excellent – in particular, Déoric’s struggles with his physical injuries (and his pride and bitterness) are finely done. The author also has a wonderful feel for the landscape of Rohan and the texture of daily life amongst the common folk of Edoras.
