About the Book

In this first volume of an epic fantasy trilogy set in a richly invented world called Middle-earth, a young hobbit — a small, homebody creature from a peaceful rural community — inherits a ring of immense and dangerous power and is tasked with carrying it toward its destruction, accompanied by a diverse group of companions. The journey is long, perilous, and filled with dark forces seeking to reclaim the ring.
