   Summary

   What do you get if you combine a prying wizard with a foolishly courageous hobbit and a plain piece of jewelry that is not as unremarkable as it seems?
   Bilbo Baggins is about to find out, when the consequences of a small mistake force him to realise that there are other threats and even greater forces of evil in Middle Earth beyond the calamity of Smaug. So it comes that, having barely finished his first adventure, he embarks on another journey that will put his endurance and strength of will to the test in a way he's never experienced before - and suffice it to say that a magic ring that possesses something of an own personality does not make for a good travelling companion.
