The Alliance has marched on the Black Gate, to draw Sauron’s eye away.

Frodo and Sam have just left the Tower of Cirith Ungol, and descended into Mordor.

Poor Frodo is tired, and so is Sam, but they haven’t run out of food or water yet, and are about to meet a cruel test that will slip them even deeper into Mordor.

I love this story… I don’t care how many times I read it, it’s always like the first time…
