About This Book
The second volume, The Two Towers, deals with two parallel storylines in
each of its books. Book III details the exploits of the remaining
members of the Fellowship who aid the country of Rohan in its war
against Saruman. At the beginning of the book, Aragorn, Legolas and
Gimli went off in pursuit of Merry and Pippin's captors. The three met
Gandalf, who had returned as "Gandalf the White". He had defeated the
Balrog at the cost of his life, but had been sent back to Middle-earth,
with enhanced powers, to aid the forces of good. Gandalf, Aragorn,
Legolas, and Gimli helped defeat Saruman's armies at the Battle of the
Hornburg. Meanwhile Merry and Pippin, freed from captivity, helped the
tree-like Ents and Huorns attack Saruman at his stronghold of Isengard.
The two groups were reunited in the aftermath of battle, and after
Saruman refused to repent of his folly, Gandalf cast him from the Order
of Wizards.
Book IV tells of Frodo and Sam's exploits on the way to Mount Doom. They
managed to capture and "tame" Gollum, who showed them a way to enter
Mordor secretly (as opposed to the Black Gate), albeit through the
dreaded valley of Minas Morgul. At the end of the volume, Gollum
betrayed Frodo to the great spider Shelob, and though he survived he was
captured by orcs. Meanwhile, Sauron launched an all-out military assault
upon Middle-earth, with the Witch-king (leader of the Ringwraiths)
leading a fell host (Large army) from Minas Morgul into battle against
Gondor, in the War of the Ring.
The further adventures of Gandalf, Aragorn and company are related in
the first book of the third volume, The Return of the King. As told in
Book V, the Fellowship assisted in the final battles against the armies
of Sauron, including the siege of the tower-city of Minas Tirith in
Gondor and the climactic life-or-death battle before the Black Gate of
Mordor, where the alliance of Gondor and Rohan fought desperately
against Sauron's armies in order to distract him from the Ring, and
hoped to gain time for Frodo to destroy it.
In Book VI, Sam rescued Frodo from captivity. After much struggle, they
finally reached Mount Doom itself, tailed by Gollum. However, the
temptation of the Ring proved too great for Frodo, and he claimed it for
himself, but Gollum struggled with him for it and managed to bite the
Ring off Frodo's finger. Crazed with triumph, Gollum slipped into the
fires of the mountain, and the Ring was destroyed.
Thus, Sauron was banished from the world and his realm ended. Aragorn
was crowned king and married Arwen, the daughter of Elrond. However, all
was not over, for Saruman had managed to escape his captivity and
enslave the Shire. Although he was overthrown by the Hobbits and the
four heroes helped to restore order and beautify the land again, it was
not the same Shire that they left. At the end, Frodo remained wounded in
body and spirit and, accompanied by Bilbo, sailed west over the Sea to
the Undying Lands, where he could find peace.
