Description from sunny chick: From the smoky ashes and the glowing embers a new ring was wrought, more powerful and wicked than the first. The shadow, at first nothing more than a mist, is slowly taking its shape. It waits in the darkness. The stillness bears down upon the land like a tyrant. The shadow bides its time. With each passing minute it draws strength from its own wickedness. The chosen night is coming . . .

Deb D Grammy Chick says:This is an awesome Tolkien pick, Martha! Absolutely perfect for the story! I first read Tolkien in high school, where it was required. I think his books were probably the only required reading I actually fell in love with! I have all the books AND the movies and still enjoy them all (although the books are better!)
