Set 183 years before the events of the original film trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim recounts the fate of House Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan. A sudden attack by Wulf, a clever and ruthless Dunlending lord who seeks revenge for his father’s death, forces Helm and his people to a daring final stand in the ancient fortress of Hornburg – a mighty fortress that will later become known as Helm’s Deep. Finding herself in an increasingly desperate situation, Héra, daughter of Helm, must summon the will to lead the resistance against a deadly enemy intent on her utter destruction.
