The Fall of Númenor: And Other Tales from the Second Age of Middle-Earth is a 2022 fantasy work collecting all J. R. R. Tolkien's Second Age writings together. It was edited by Brian Sibley. The book uses extracts from "The Tale of Years" in the Appendices of The Lord of the Rings as a framework for the writings. The materials in the book include writings on 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 also has a cover, ten colour paintings and several line drawings by Alan Lee.[1]
The book was published on 15 November 2022.[1] The book's launch was timed to coincide with the release of the television series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, which is set in the Second Age.[1]
