Summary
At last, the time has come for Thorin Oakenshield to face the tests that he once failed so utterly. The Dragon. The Gold. The Battle. The Orc.
The fate of all he holds dear rests on the knife's edge of calamity, but he has sworn not to squander his second chance.
Thorin wakes up after the Battle of Five Armies the day the company is due to meet their new burglar in Hobbiton. He must find a way to use his knowledge to change their fate, yet dealing in secrets and subtlety does not play to his strengths. Thankfully, as always, he has Bilbo Baggins to cover his shortcomings.

Summary
Ninety-one years after the Fall of Erebor, and sixty-two since the loss of his father and brother at the Battle of Azanulbizar, Mahal grants Thorin II Oakenshield a boon in the form of a child, the first of the like since the Second Age. After dealing with the misfortune and poverty that has characterized his entire adult life thus far, Thorin feels a burgeoning hope of a better future for himself, his family, and his people. This hope turns into hardened determination when Tharkûn presents him with an opportunity to reclaim his homeland and return Durin’s Folk to their former glory.
If only Thorin could overcome the sickening terror that grips him at the thought of his child and sister-sons being lost as casualties to his ambition.
If only he could stop staring at the damned Melekûn.

Summary
The gift of hobbits is a secret not known to dwarves. Bilbo’s gift saves the Company—repeatedly—and they don’t even know it until after Smaug is dead. But by then, just about everybody knows there’s a hobbit in Erebor, and the invading orcs decide to keep Bilbo and his otherworldly gift for themselves.
