The First Dark Lord
J.R.R. Tolkien started this tale in 1918 as he recovered from trench fever, and continued it after the completion of The Lord of the Rings. After a 30 year study of the manuscripts, his son Christopher has produced a seamless, soaring narrative in the epic style that is a fitting return to Middle-earth.
A dark prequel to the Lord of the Rings, it is set in the time when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, is gradually extending his influence and power at the expense of the elvish race.
Húrin, a valiant elf-friend who dared defy Morgoth, has the misfortune to be captured. His doom is to watch helpless as Morgoth warps the fate of his family. Húrin’s son Turin becomes a new champion against evil, even though everyone to whom he becomes attached is destined to die. At last, Morgoth sends his most formidable servant Glaurung, a wingless dragon of fire, to fight against Turin and his sister Nienor. Will Morgoth’s curse be fulfilled?
