The Children of Hurin is set long before the famous The Lord of the Rings, before even the Hobbits appeared. Back when the feared evil enemy was still the fallen Vala, Morgoth, and Sauron was just his lowly lieutenant. This story follows the tale of Hurin, a man who dared to defy the evil Morgoth, and Hurin’s family’s tragic destiny.
