The Fall Of Numenor: And Other Tales From The Second Age Of Middle-Earth

Beskrivelse

Discover the epic stories of Middle-earth's Second Age, all gathered into one volume for the first time. This collection reveals the rise of the Rings of Power, the forging of the One Ring, and the looming shadow of Sauron's war.

A captivating chronicle of power, ambition, and alliance in Tolkien’s Second Age.

Under the guidance of the Dark Lord Sauron, the Elves of Eregion craft the Rings of Power. Meanwhile, Sauron secretly constructs the Barad-dûr fortress in Mordor and forges the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom. His dark ambition leads to devastating wars across Middle-earth.

On the island kingdom of Númenor, the Men of the West rise to great power, building mighty ships to extend their influence far and wide. Yet, with their growing strength comes the beginning of their downfall.

Only by forming an alliance with the Elves can they stand a chance against Sauron’s destructive force. Following the timeline of 'The Tale of Years' from The Lord of the Rings, Brian Sibley compiles this tragic saga of pride, envy, and ruin, told largely through J. R. R. Tolkien’s own words from texts edited by Christopher Tolkien.

The volume is beautifully brought to life with pencil illustrations by Alan Lee, enriching this timeless tale of Middle-earth’s Second Age.
