"The Return of the King" by J.R.R. Tolkien concludes the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, bringing the epic tale to a dramatic close. The narrative follows the final stages of the quest to destroy the One Ring, focusing on Frodo and Sam's treacherous journey through Mordor, while the forces of the Free Peoples rally for the Battle of the Pelennor Fields and the siege of Minas Tirith. Aragorn's emergence as the true king, the fall of Sauron, and the hobbits' return to the Shire are central. Themes of sacrifice, redemption, and the restoration of peace highlight this poignant end to an adventure.
