The Return of the King is the third and final part of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy The Lord of the Rings, following The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers. In this compelling conclusion, the narrative follows Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas, Gimli, and the rest of the company as they prepare for the final battle for Middle-earth. The fate of the One Ring is decided and the true king is set to reclaim his throne. Rich in mythology and bursting with heroic battles, Tolkien's masterpiece brings to a close the tales of Hobbits, Elves, Men, and Orcs, as described in the widely acclaimed first edition.
