About this ebook

Begin your journey into Middle-earth.

The inspiration for the upcoming original series on Prime Video, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

The Return of the King is the third part of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic adventure The Lord of the Rings.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

The Dark Lord has risen, and as he unleashes hordes of Orcs to conquer all Middle-earth, Frodo and Sam struggle deep into his realm in Mordor.

To defeat Sauron, the One Ring must be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom. But the way is impossibly hard, and Frodo is weakening. The Ring corrupts all who bear it and Frodo’s time is running out.

Will Sam and Frodo succeed, or will the Dark Lord rule Middle-earth once more?

Ratings and reviews

The most excellent conclusion to the story of our times. what Tolkien achieves here is nothing less than miraculous. His songs and poems and beautiful maps, and his love of language (not a few of his own making) envelope us, and sooth us, and bring us to a bitter sweet farewell to these new friends we have encountered.

All words seem to hasty to describe the emotional catharsis I was afforded thanks to the Master of Middle Earth. Wept shamelessly upon its conclusion.

An amazing epic that's beautifully written. Although there are grammatical errors that seem to be unique to the online version, it's quite enjoyable.
