The Fellowship of the Ring, the first volume of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic trilogy, follows young hobbit Frodo Baggins, who inherits a mysterious ring from his uncle Bilbo. When the wizard Gandalf reveals it is the One Ring forged by the Dark Lord Sauron to rule all of Middle-earth, Frodo must flee his peaceful home in the Shire. Pursued by terrifying Black Riders, he journeys to Rivendell, where a Fellowship of nine companions is formed to destroy the Ring in the fires of Mount Doom. Through treacherous mountains, dark mines, and deadly betrayals, their courage and friendship are tested at every step.
