A hidden city stands against a power almost too vast to imagine. Gondolin is beautiful, secret, and fiercely guarded, but Morgoth’s shadow reaches across Middle-earth, and one man, Tuor, is drawn into a destiny shaped by gods, Elves, betrayal, and war.
The Fall of Gondolin is not a simple adventure novel. It is a legendary tale from Tolkien’s Elder Days, presented by Christopher Tolkien from his father’s manuscripts, with Alan Lee’s artwork adding visual grandeur. Teen readers who already love The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, or The Silmarillion will find a deeper doorway into Middle-earth’s mythology: hidden kingdoms, sea-lord visions, Balrogs, dragons, and the tragic beauty of a doomed world.
This is best for patient fantasy readers who enjoy epic language, ancient histories, and the feeling of watching a myth take shape.
