Dwie Wieże by J. R. R. Tolkien

The Fellowship has split and the story follows two parallel strands: Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli become embroiled in Rohan’s struggle against Saruman—culminating in the defense of Helm’s Deep and the Ents’ assault on Isengard—while Frodo and Sam, guided by the treacherous Gollum, continue their slow, perilous approach toward Mordor and face moral tests and new dangers, including an encounter with a conflicted Gondorian captain. The volume deepens the sense of mounting war, the corrupting power of the Ring, and the personal costs of the quest as alliances and loyalties are strained.
