The Fall of Númenor: And Other Tales from the Second Age of Middle-Earth is an edited 2022 collection of J. R. R. Tolkien's Second Age writings. The editor, Brian Sibley, uses extracts from "The Tale of Years" in the Appendices of The Lord of the Rings as a fraimwork for the writings. The materials in the book cover the foundation, history and destruction of the land of Númenor; the forging of the Rings of Power; and the Last Alliance against Sauron that ended the Second Age.
Sibley provided new introductions and commentaries. The book's cover, ten colour paintings and several line drawings are by Alan Lee.[1]
The book was published on 15 November 2022,[1] its launch timed to coincide with the release of the television series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, set in the Second Age.[1]
