The Two Towers is the second part of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic adventure The Lord of the Rings. Frodo and the Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard Gandalf in the battle with an evil spirit in the Mines of Moria; and at the Falls of Rauros, Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force.
