Starts off in the 15th century, with Connor McLeod training with another immortal swordsman, the Japanese sorcerer Nakano.

Yet, the sole hope for triumph over evil lies with a brave hobbit, Frodo, who, accompanied by his loyal friend Sam and the hideous, wretched Gollum, ventures deep into the very dark heart…
