Darkness Will Bind Them… watch The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2 on Prime Video

For the first time, the complete history of Middle-earth’s Second Age is brought together in one breathtaking volume. From the forging of the Rings of Power and the rise of Sauron to the glory and downfall of Númenor, this epic chronicle expands the legendary world created by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Long considered a mysterious and lesser-known era of Middle-earth, the Second Age is revealed through Tolkien’s writings, carefully assembled by editor Brian Sibley from works including The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and Unfinished Tales. The story follows the growing power of Númenor, the corruption of men, and the final alliance between Elves and Men against the Dark Lord Sauron.

Beautifully illustrated by renowned Tolkien artist Alan Lee, this edition offers readers an immersive journey into one of the darkest and most pivotal ages in Tolkien’s mythology.
