The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien is a collection of writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth, which includes the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of Barad-dûr, and the rise of Sauron. It was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion that a fuller story could be told.

The writings of J.R.R. Tolkien, spanning the Second Age of Middle-earth, have been compiled for the first time in a single volume. Tolkien himself referred to this era as a "dark age," and much of its history remains shrouded in mystery. For years, readers were limited to the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the construction of Barad-dûr, and the rise of Sauron. However, it was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion after his father's death that a more comprehensive story could be told. While The Silmarillion primarily focused on the First Age of Middle-earth, it contained two key works that shed light on the tumultuous events surrounding the rise and fall of the island of Númenor. Raised from the Great Sea and bestowed upon the Men of Middle-earth as a reward for their assistance in defeating the Dark Lord Morgoth and capturing the Elves, Númenor became a powerful and wealthy kingdom. However, as the Númenóreans' power grew, the seeds of their downfall were planted, culminating in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men.

Subsequent publications provided even greater insight into the Second Age. Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth, followed by Christopher Tolkien's monumental twelve-volume The History of Middle-earth, presented and discussed a wealth of further tales written by J.R.R. Tolkien, many of which were in draft form. Editor Brian Sibley has now assembled a new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth, adhering to the timeline outlined in the appendices to The Lord of the Rings. Told predominantly in the words of J.R.R. Tolkien, this comprehensive volume offers a fresh perspective on this pivotal period in Middle-earth's history.
