The Fall of Númenor: And Other Tales from the Second Age of Middle-Earth
J. R. R. TolkienA trove of source material about one of Middle-earth’s most intriguing and central backstories ... the book is a handy addendum for any Tolkien completist and also a neat introduction for those whose sole knowledge of the doomed island comes from “The Rings of Power.”
