Tragic epic in Tolkien’s rich Middle-earth tapestry.

If you've journeyed with Frodo and Bilbo and yearn for more of Middle-earth's deep lore, "The Children of Húrin" is a treasure trove waiting for you. It's a darker, more mature tale that enriches the world Tolkien fans adore, offering a glimpse into a time before the well-known sagas unfurl. The storytelling has the same linguistic beauty, but its ancient tragedy echoes with the weight of legend. This book could be the next step in your Middle-earth adventure, delving into its creation and earliest conflicts.

Description

The Tale of the Children of Húrin (Narn i Chîn Húrin), is set during the legendary time before The Lord of the Rings Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwells in the vast fortress of Angband in the North; and within the shadow of the fear of Angband, and the war waged by Morgoth against the Elves, the fates of Túrin and his sister Niënor will be tragically entwined. Their brief and passionate lives are dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bears them as the children of Húrin, the man who dared to defy him to his face. Against them Morgoth sends his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire, in an attempt to fulfil the curse of Morgoth and destroy the children of Húrin.
