Ring of Darkness

A fantasy novel set 300 years after the events of The Lord of the Rings.

Middle-earth has changed. Three centuries have passed since the One Ring was unmade. The great kingdoms have risen, fractured, and transformed. New powers have stirred in the East, and old shadows, thought banished forever, have begun to move again.

This story was developed with the assistance of large language models — an experiment in collaborative world-building and narrative. The original text was written in French and translated to English.
