In the ancient First Age of Middle-earth, long before the events of The Lord of the Rings, the children of Húrin live under a terrible curse laid upon their family by the Dark Lord Morgoth. Túrin Turambar, proud and fierce, rises from noble beginnings to become a warrior of renown, yet each victory draws him closer to ruin. His sister Niënor, struck by cruel enchantment, is swept into a fate tragically entwined with his own. Battles, exiles, and doomed loves weave a tale of heroism shadowed by sorrow, where courage cannot always overcome destiny. Edited and completed by Christopher Tolkien from his father’s legendary writings, The Children of Húrin is a haunting, standalone epic of love, loss, and the unyielding power of fate in the world of Middle-earth.
