Death. Lots of death.

near the end of the book, the main character accidentally marries his sister. When the pregnant sister learns of their familial ties, she jumps off a cliff and dies. Later, the main character also kills himself.

A sad tragic Tolkien take... no happy ending can be found here. A good story all the same, adding depth to the world and history of Middle Earth.
