Book Two: The
Two Towers
Boromir dies trying to protect Merry and Pippin
in the battle with Orcs. They are captured by the Orcs who have
been ordered by Saruman to bring the Hobbits alive to Isengard.
Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli track them, across the land of Rohan.
Merry and Pippin escape into the forest of Fangorn during a battle
between the Orcs and The Riders of Rohan. There they meet Treebeard,
an ancient tree-like giant called an Ent.
When Treebeard discovers that the trees have been damaged by Saruman
he rouses his fellow Ents to attack Isengard. Aragorn, Legolas and
Gimli meet Gandalf, who has returned as Gandalf the White. They
head for Edoras to rally the horse- men of Rohan, Gandalf casts
out Wormtongue, who was counseling King Théoden. At Helm's
Deep they fight a great battle and overcome Saruman's army.
They reach Saruman's stronghold, finding
it destroyed by Ents, Merry and Pippin are safe. They release
Saruman, Gandalf having broken his staff of power. Meanwhile,
Frodo and Sam journey to Mordor. Gollum follows, drawn by the
ring. They capture him and he agrees to guide them to Mordor.
They meet Faramir, Boromir's younger brother. Gollum leads them
to a secret passage into Mordor, guarded by Shelob, a huge spider,
who poisons Frodo. Sam decides to take the ring and finish the
quest, but overhears Orcs saying that Frodo is not dead, only
stunned.
