The Two Towers

About this book

The Fellowship is broken. Boromir has fallen, Frodo and Sam have vanished into the wilderness with the One Ring, and the remaining companions must choose between pursuit and the defence of a world sliding into darkness. The Two Towers, the second part of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, follows every member of the scattered Fellowship as the War of the Ring draws near. While Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli race across the plains of Rohan in pursuit of captured friends, Frodo and Sam press on towards the land of Mordor, guided by the wretched and treacherous Gollum. Along the way, ancient forests awaken, mighty fortresses prepare for siege, and old alliances are tested. This edition presents the complete text of the second volume of Tolkien's masterpiece of imaginative fiction, a landmark of modern fantasy loved by generations of readers. With its richly imagined peoples, languages and landscapes, from the horse-lords of Rohan to the shadow-haunted marshes, it delivers epic adventure, deep friendship and moral courage on every page. If you have already travelled from the Shire to the Falls of Rauros, this is the next step on the road to Mordor.
