Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien is the first novel in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The trilogy is about two stories. The first is about two characters, Frodo and Samwise who travel to Mordor to destroy the ring of power. The second centers on the rest of the Fellowship fighting the forces of Sauron and Saruman.
