A surprise attack by Wulf, a cunning and ruthless Dunlending lord seeking revenge for his father’s death, forces Helm and his people to make a last stand in the ancient stronghold of Hornburg—a mighty fortress that would later become known as Helm’s Deep. Finding themselves in increasingly desperate straits, Helm’s daughter Héra must summon the will to lead the resistance against a dangerous enemy bent on their complete destruction.
