The fate of Middle-earth reaches its crescendo in The Return of the King, the climactic finale to The Lord of the Rings. As Sauron's armies gather and the shadows of war engulf the world, Aragorn claims his birthright, and the final battle between light and darkness erupts. Meanwhile, Frodo and Sam crawl ever closer to Mount Doom, burdened by the Ring and hunted by Gollum. With staggering stakes and heart-stopping heroism, this powerful conclusion brings Tolkien's epic to a masterful close—a tale of sacrifice, kingship, and the enduring hope that even the smallest person can change the world.
