The Two Towers: Book 2 (The Lord of the Rings)

Book 2 of 3: Lord of the Rings

Building on the story begun in The Hobbit, this is the second part of Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings.

Key Features:

• Striking black cover based on Tolkien’s own design
• The definitive text
• A detailed map of Middle-earth

Frodo and the Companions of the Ring face relentless danger in their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord. Their mission: destroy the Ring in the Cracks of Doom.

Challenges faced so far:

• Gandalf, the wizard, was lost in battle with an evil spirit in the Mines of Moria.
• Boromir, seduced by the Ring's power, attempted to seize it by force at the Falls of Rauros.
• While Frodo and Sam escaped, the rest of the company were attacked by Orcs.

Now, Frodo and Sam continue their journey down the great River Anduin—alone, except for a mysterious, creeping figure that follows them wherever they go.
