  • "Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwells in the vast fortress of Angband in the North; and within the shadow of fear of Angband, and the war waged by Morgoth against the Elves, the fates of Turin and his sister Nienor will be tragically entwined. Their brief and passionate lives are dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bears them as the children of Hurin, the man who dared to defy him to his face. Against them Morgoth sends his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a wingless dragon of fire, in an attempt to fulfil the curse of Morgoth and destroy the children of Hurin. -- Container."

  • "Turin is born into a Middle-earth crushed by the recent victory of the Dark Lord, Morgoth, and his monstrous army. The greatest warriors among Elves and Men have perished and Turin's father, Hurin, has been captured. For his defiance, Hurin's entire family is cursed by Morgoth to be brought down into darkness and despair. But, like his father, Turin refuses to be cowed by Morgoth and as he grows so does the legend of the deadly hero. In a land overrun with marauding Orcs, Turin gathers to him a band of outlaws and gradually they begin to turn the tide in the war for supremacy of Middle-earth. Then Morgoth unleashes his greatest weapon: Glaurung, Mightiest of Dragons, and he proves an unstoppable foe. As the Dragon carves a fiery swathe through Middle-earth there remains only one man who can slay him, but to do that he will first have to confront his destiny."
  • "Set in the early days of Middle-Earth, humans and elves, dwarves and dragons, orcs and dark sorcerers clash in an epic battle between good and evil."
  • "Túrin Turambar, een ridder die huis en haard moest ontvluchten en door een Elfenkoning werd geadopteerd, gaat als verdoemde held met een magisch zwaard zijn noodlot tegemoet."
