At 448 pages, The Return of the King is the final book in the trilogy and concludes Frodo's epic quest to destroy the One Ring.

If you're somehow unfamiliar with J.R.R. Tolkien's epic The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the books take place in the fantasy world of Middle-Earth and center on peaceful, unassuming Hobbits who embark on epic quests, meeting a massive, colorful cast of iconic characters along the way. These new printings of the books celebrate Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings film trilogy, which collectively earned 30 Academy Award nominations and won 17. The extended editions of the films are generally accepted as the definitive way to experience these movies, which add new scenes and moments that didn't make the original theatrical cuts.
