Set 183 years before the events chronicled in the original film trilogy The War of the Rohirrim tells the fate of the House of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan.

Forced to make a daring last stand at the ancient stronghold of the Hornburg — a mighty fortress that will later come to be known as Helm’s Deep — Hammerhand’s daughter Héra, must summon the will to lead the resistance against a deadly enemy intent on their total destruction.
