The One Ring is actually one of twenty rings of power that exist in Middle-earth, and its unique ability allows its bearer to control those who wear the other nineteen rings, making the story really about all twenty.

Also, at least twelve other rings of power make an appearance in the books. The three greatest rings (that were crafted solely by Celebrimbor without Sauron's influence) are worn by Gandalf, Galadriel, and Elrond during the events of the story. And the nine rings given to men also show up, as they turned their hosts into the Nazgûl, or the Ringwraiths, who serve Sauron.

"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."
