Publisher's Synopsis
In the twilight of myth and memory, before the world grew small and the roads of legend faded to whispers, there were kingdoms whose names are now etched only in the stone of forgotten ruins. Tales of Lost History gathers together these stories-fables of shadow and light, of ancient powers that once stirred in the heart of Middle-earth.
Journey to Eredhûn, where the last light of Elenúrë flickered bravely against the encroaching dark. Stand with the guardians of Halinor as they fight to preserve the Heartstone, a fragment of the light of the Two Trees. Walk the Grey Way in search of Marothor, the Lost Hall of the South, where the echoes of kings and their wanderers still linger in the wind.
From the shimmering harps of Lirael that ward off the shadows, to the boundless courage of those who dare to defy the Mourning Ones in the halls of Eredris, these stories weave together the fate of realms long vanished. Beneath the roots of ancient forests and within the vaults of distant mountains, the essence of Middle-earth's past remains, untouched and unyielding to time's decay.
Tales of Lost History is a collection of twelve epic stories, each a fragment of the grander tapestry of Middle-earth. With the grace of timeless myth and the depth of Tolkien's legendary world-building, these stories remind us that though kingdoms may fall and lights may fade, the echoes of their glory endure, waiting to be rediscovered by those who wander the old paths.
In every shadowed glen and forgotten vale, a story waits to be told-if only you have the courage to seek it.
