Ceinwen, the Goddess of the Hunt, appears one last time to Dave and reminds him that he cannot remain in Fionavar, but as a final gift she asks him what he would name a child of the andain, a son, if he had one. He chooses the name "Kevin" and he and Kim return to our world. Reception Dave Langford reviewed The Darkest Road for White Dwarf #94, and stated that "Kay has done well with shopworn materials; I have a sneaking hope that now he's got Tolkien out of his system, he'll write something better."
