Today, we cover the story, creation, and abandonment of JRR Tolkien's The New Shadow a sequel to The Lord of the Rings. It follows the youngest son of Beregond, Borlas who is now an aging man. Borlas enters into a conversation with Saelon, where they discuss a growing darkness in the world of Man.

This New Shadow a Dark Tree is led by a mysterious figure known as Herumor. Combined with the disappearance of a Gondorian ship, the mystery of this new secret group, and Tolkien's brief writing, are brought to a close with a chilling end.
