Love, duty, and destiny collide in the forgotten hours before the world learned the name of the Ring again. Aragorn walks alone through a rising shadow, chasing a creature broken by centuries of hunger—and bound to a fate far more dangerous than any army.

The hunt for Gollum is not only a race against the servants of Sauron… it is a race against time itself. Every footprint in the mud, every whisper in the wild, carries the same terrible truth: if Gollum is found by the enemy first, hope may never reach Rivendell. Between loyalty to Gandalf and a growing fear of what mercy might cost, Aragorn must choose what kind of king he will become—long before he is ever crowned.

The world of The Hunt for Gollum breathes through dark forests, ruined watchtowers, and forgotten mountain paths. Moonlight trembles across ancient stone. Wind slides through dead leaves like distant voices of the fallen.

Inside this lonely journey, Aragorn feels the weight of a throne he never asked for… and a future that refuses to wait. He senses Gollum’s pain like an echo beneath his own skin—two lives shaped by loss, walking opposite edges of the same curse. Mercy pulls at his heart. War sharpens his blade. And in the silence between hope and fear, Middle-earth holds its breath.

“Sometimes the fate of the world rests not on who you defeat… but on who you choose to spare.”
