This incomplete account of Middle-earth's First Age appeared in the posthumously published The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales, both edited by Tolkien's son, Christopher. However, these accounts only touched on the richness and profundity of the tragic tale of Túrin and Niënor, the children of Húrin, the lord of Dor-lómin, who became famous for having faced down Morgoth, the master of Sauron, the embodiment of evil in the Lord of the Rings.
Middle-earth is ruled by the Dark Lord Morgoth, six millennia before the destruction of the One Ring. Everything is in darkness and misery, and the best fighters, both human and elven, have fallen. A dangerous new commander emerges, Túrin, son of Húrin, and he turns the tide of the struggle for Middle-earth with his gloomy band of outlaws, waiting for the day he faces his fate and the fatal curse placed upon him.
