The Fellowship of the Ring

In the first volume of The Lord of the Rings, the fate of the world rests in the hands of a quiet hobbit named Frodo Baggins, who inherits the One Ring-an object of unimaginable power forged by the Dark Lord Sauron. With enemies closing in, Frodo sets out from the peaceful Shire with a fellowship of allies: men, a wizard, an elf, a dwarf, and fellow hobbits. Their mission? To destroy the Ring in the fires of Mount Doom. The Fellowship of the Ring is a sweeping tale of friendship, betrayal, ancient powers, and the beginnings of an unforgettable journey across Middle-earth.
