The two towers - J. R. R. Tolkien

The second 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

Frodo and his Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during
their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of
the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the
wizard, Gandalf, in a battle in the Mines of Moria. And Boromir,
seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force. While
Frodo and Sam made their escape, the rest of the company was attacked by
Orcs. Now they continue the journey alone down the great River
Anduin-alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that
follows wherever they go.

"Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth
century. The book presents us with the richest profusion of new lands
and creatures, from the beauty of Lothlrien to the horror of Mordor." -
