The Two Towers
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.

'The Hobbit' and it's sequels,'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, make up the most popular fantasy series of all time. Set in Middle-Earth, these tales explore a richly devised fantasy realm inhabited by an array of mythical beings, both good and evil. 'The Hobbit' introduces us to Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf and Gollum, and recounts of the adventures of a reluctant hero, a powerful and dangerous ring, and the cruel dragon Smaug the Magnificent'. The Lord of the Rings' trilogy follows these characters and introduces many more as they strive to protect Middle-Earth from the dark forces of Sauron, who plots to destroy all that is good in their magical realm.
