If the inexorable doom shadowing Túrin — from Beleg’s heartbreaking fate to Glaurung’s cruel sorcery — gripped you, you’ll be right at home in The Broken Sword. Anderson’s Skafloc and his changeling counterpart are pulled into an elf–troll war where a dwarven-cursed sword twists every victory into loss. It’s the same fatal, mythic current that pushes Túrin toward Nargothrond and Gurthang: stark beauty, bleak destiny, and a hero’s ruin writ large.

The way Morgoth’s malediction warps Túrin’s life — from Dor-lómin to the tragedy at Cabed-en-Aras — finds a spiritual echo in The Curse of Chalion. Cazaril must untangle a god-haunted blight on a royal house, and the miracles he invokes exact costs as grave as any laid by Glaurung’s manipulation. If you were drawn to the terrible weight of doom in The Children of Húrin, this tale of curses, saints, and sacrifice will strike the same chord.

If the deep-rooted lore behind Beleriand — Thingol’s court, the ruin of Nargothrond, the ancient enmity with Morgoth — captivated you, The Dragonbone Chair offers a similarly rich tapestry. As Simon wanders the Hayholt’s hidden places and the Sithi stir, you’ll feel that same sense of living history pressing on the present, where forgotten pacts and old kings still decide the fates of the young.

If Túrin’s inner storms — his pride, blind spots, and the tragic revelation of Níniel’s identity — lingered with you, The Buried Giant channels that same psychological ache. Axl and Beatrice travel a mist-shrouded land where memory itself is a magic that both shelters and destroys, and figures like Sir Gawain and the dragon Querig turn a quiet quest into a reckoning with what we choose to forget.

If the elevated, saga-like cadences of The Children of Húrin — the grave speeches, the doom-laden names, the sense of old song — enthralled you, The Worm Ouroboros delivers that grandeur in full. With Lord Juss and the warriors of Demonland contending against Witchland, the language itself becomes a trumpet, turning battles and oaths into something as stark and fated as Túrin taking up Gurthang.
