Beren and Lúthien’s story was one of the essential parts of The Silmarillion, but now it is being published as a standalone novel. The Silmarillion is a collection of works by JRR Tolkien also put together by Christopher. This impossible quest is to rob the first Dark Lord, Melkor, who is also called Morgoth, of his Silamril, one of three gems created by Fëanor out of some of the light from the Two Trees of Valinor. So, the Elvish Lord gives him an impossible task before Beren can marry his daughter. The book tells the tale of star-crossed lovers Beren, a mortal man, and Lúthien an immortal elf. Lúthien’s father, who is a great Elvish Lord, opposes Beren. Tolkien’s son Christopher pieced together the book from his father’s original and highly detailed manuscripts. Beren and Lúthien is the newest addition to the Lord of the Rings series.
