Before the rise of Sauron and the forging of the One Ring, there was Morgoth—the first Dark Lord. In The Children of Húrin, Tolkien unveils a dark and powerful legend from the First Age of Middle-earth. This haunting and tragic tale follows the doomed lives of Túrin Turambar and his sister Niënor, children of the great warrior Húrin, cursed by Morgoth to suffer endless sorrow. As Túrin struggles against fate, dragons, and his own pride, he is driven into a series of heroic but heartbreaking events that echo ancient myths and timeless tragedy. A deeply emotional and poetic saga of destiny, vengeance, and loss, this stand-alone epic reveals Tolkien's world at its most mythic and mature—rich in language, history, and gravitas. A must-read for fans of The Silmarillion and lovers of tragic heroism.
