The Children of Húrin is the first complete book by J.R.R.Tolkien
since the 1977 publication of The Silmarillion. Six thousand years
before the One Ring is destroyed, Middle-earth lies under the shadow
of the Dark Lord Morgoth. The greatest warriors among elves and men
have perished, and all is in darkness and despair. But a deadly new
leader rises, Túrin, son of Húrin, and with his grim band of outlaws
begins to turn the tide in the war for Middle-earth -- awaiting the day
he confronts his destiny and the deadly curse laid upon him.

The paperback edition of The Children of Húrin includes eight
color paintings by Alan Lee and a black-and-white map.
