The Quest of the Silmaril
The Daring Pursuit of the Unattainable Jewel
A chain of daring chases, bitter betrayals, and heartbreaking sacrifice runs through the First Age as Noldor lords, mortal heroes, and outcast oath-breakers pursue the stolen Silmarils across the ruined lands of Beleriand. From Fëanor's oath and the exile of his people to Morgoth's fortress of Angband, the hunt for the jewels sparks feuds among kings, sieges of Gondolin and Nargothrond, and desperate raids into Doriath. Valor and doom go hand in hand: Maedhros, Fingolfin, Beren and Lúthien, and many others meet glory and loss as the Silmarils shape love, betrayal, war, and the deep tragedy of the First Age.
