About this book
In the gripping finale of the epic fantasy trilogy, "The Lord of the Rings", the stakes have never been higher as Frodo Baggins and his faithful companions embark on their perilous quest to destroy the One Ring and vanquish the malevolent Sauron. Darkness looms over Middle-earth, and Frodo faces relentless trials and agonizing temptations. As the forces of Gondor and Rohan gather for a final, cataclysmic clash with Sauron's armies, the fate of all hangs in the balance. The stage is set for a breathtaking crescendo, with battles of epic proportions and Frodo's harrowing journey towards the treacherous Mount Doom, where the destiny of the world will be determined. Will courage and sacrifice be enough to overcome the encroaching darkness?
Summary
"An extraordinary work -- pure excitement." -- New York Times Book Review
"A triumphant close...a grand piece of work, grand in both conception and execution. An astonishing imaginative tour de force." -- Daily Telegraph
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkeness bind them
As the Shadow of Mordor grows across the land, the Companions of the Ring have become involved in separate adventures. Aragorn, revealed as the hidden heir of the ancient Kings of the West, has joined with the Riders of Rohan against the forces of Isengard, and took part in the desperate victory of the Hornburg. Merry and Pippin, captured by Orcs, escaped into Fangorn Forest and there encountered the Ents.
Gandalf has miraculously returned and defeated the evil wizard, Saruman. Sam has left his master for dead after a battle with the giant spider, Shelob; but Frodo is still alive -- now in the foul hands of the Orcs. And all the while the armies of the Dark Lord are massing as the One Ring draws ever nearer to the Cracks of Doom.
