The return of the king - J. R. R. Tolkien

The third volume in J.R.R. Tolkien's epic adventure THE LORD OF THE RINGS

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness 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 takes part in the
desperate victory of the Hornburg. Merry and Pippin, captured by Orcs,
escape into Fangorn Forest and there encounter 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.

"A triumphant close . . . a grand
piece of work, grand in both conception and execution. An astonishing
imaginative tour de force." - Daily Telegraph
