The Fellowship of the Ring: Lord of the Rings, Book 1

by Unknown author · The Lord of the Rings series

In the Shire, a young hobbit named Frodo Baggins inherits a mysterious ring from his uncle—an artifact of terrible power that draws the gaze of a dark lord bent on dominion. As the Fellowship forms to guide and protect him, Frodo embarks on a perilous journey across Middle-earth to destroy the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom. Tolkien's masterwork weaves myth, heroism, and the struggle of ordinary courage against overwhelming evil.
