"Return of the King" - the 3rd and last part of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Ring series revolving around the final part of the War of the Ring in Middle Earth, the final destruction of Sauron's ring of power and Aragorn Elessar's rise to power through birthright as the High King of Gondor. This also signals the end of the Age of the Elves, who pass into the Undying Lands to Valinor in the West as well as the beginning of the Age of Men. With the passing of the elves, the 3rd Age comes to an end, signaling the beginning of the 4th Age.

This is chronicled as well in the movie, Return of the King, also the 3rd and final part of New Line Cinema’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, released in theaters worldwide December 17, 2003
Judging from the wicked trailer, RoTK is gonna kick some serious ass. And I will be there to witness it, midnight, December 17th.

A completely different book from the lotr series. This book, Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a Chinese history book written about the fall of the Han Dynasty and the events after. It contains many, many, many battles and skirmishes and warriors. There have been numerous video games (Dynasty Warriors series, Kessen series, Romance of the Three Kingdoms series) and a tv show on the subject.
The story of the Wei officer Xiahou Dun and the loss of his eye can be found in detail in rotk.
