Being the First Part of The Lord of the Rings
by J. R. R. Tolkien
The dark, fearsome Ringwraiths were searching for a hobbit. Frodo Baggins knew they were seeking him and the Ring he bore--the Ring of Power that would enable evil Sauron to destroy all that was good in Middle-earth.

The Return of the King
Being the Third Part of The Lord of the Rings
by J. R. R. Tolkien
While the evil might of the Dark Lord Sauron swarmed out to conquer all Middle-earth, Frodo and Sam struggled deep into Mordor, seat of Sauron's power.

Weighed down by the compulsion of the Ring, he began finally to despair.

The Lord of the Rings: Book 2
The Two Towers
Being the Second Part of The Lord of the Rings
by J. R. R. Tolkien
The Fellowship was scattered. Some were bracing hopelessly for war against the ancient evil of Sauron. Some were contending with the treachery of the wizard Saruman. Only Frodo and Sam were left to take the accursed Ring of Power to be destroyed in Mordor - the dark Kingdom where Sauron was supreme. Their guide was Gollum, deceitful and lust-filled, slave to the corruption of the Ring.

The Silmarillion
