In a sleepy village in the Shire, a young hobbit is entrusted with an immense task. He must make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Rulling Ring of Power - the only thing that prevents the Dark Lord Sauron's evil dominion. Thus begins J.R.R. Tolkien's classic tale of adventure, THE LORD OF THE RINGS, which continues in The Two Towers and The Return of the King.
