Description
Jedan Prsten koji vlada svima, jedan Prsten da im uđe u trag, jedan Prsten da ih sve donese, da ih združi tamo gdje je mrak.
U drevna vremena vilinski su kovači izradili Prstenove Moći, a Gospodar Tame Sauron iskovao je Vrhovni Prsten i ispunio ga svojom moći kako bi vladao nad svima ostalima. Ali Vrhovni mu je Prsten oduzet i, premda ga je tražio diljem Međuzemlja, nije ga mogao naći. Nakon dugog razdoblja Prsten je pao u ruke Bilba Torbara, o čemu možete čitati u Hobitu. U jednom pospanom selu u Kotaru mladi Frodo Torbar dobiva strašan zadatak nakon što mu stariji rođak Bilbo preda Prsten na čuvanje. Frodo mora napustiti dom i krenuti na pogibeljno putovanje kroz Međuzemlje do Napuklina Kobi, gdje treba uništiti Prsten i osujetiti zle namjere Gospodara Tame.

I'll preface my rating with the fact it's probably not the books fault as much as it's mine being newer to reading. The book is very dense and can be overly descriptive at times. Some will actually really love that. The chapters are longer but it gives Tolkien time to really explain whats going on. I would suggest anyone who is into fantasy or wants to read the LOTR series to go for it. It can seem daunting at first but just stick with it. It's an incredible fun adventure and I'm excited to finish the series.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkeness bind them
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, The Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit.
In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.
