This definitive collection unravels the early history of Middle-earth and its surrounding realms, including Valinor, Beleriand, Númenor, and the beloved lands of Middle-earth itself. Divided into five distinct sections, the book provides immersive lore, historical narratives of the First Age, and insights into the events of the Third Age chronicled in The Lord of the Rings.

Tolkien's imaginative universe has transcended literature, inspiring adaptations such as Monolith's Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Magic: The Gathering crossovers, and Prime Video's critically acclaimed Rings of Power series. IGN noted in their review of season two, “While the show excels at portraying Sauron’s cunning schemes and their influence on others, certain subplots lack depth and fail to deliver compelling intrigue.”
