Black Riders attack both Crickhollow and the Prancing Pony, forcing Frodo and his companions to flee into the wild under Strider’s guidance. As danger closes in, Fatty Bolger sounds the alarm in Buckland, and a chilling confrontation at Bree leaves the hobbits shaken. With Weathertop looming ahead, the shadow of the Nazgûl grows ever darker.

Explore Tolkien’s masterful use of atmosphere, alliteration, and poetic storytelling as the journey toward Rivendell takes a perilous turn.
