In briefanswer capsule

Melkor, escaped from Valinor, sought out Ungoliant in the lightless land of Avathar and bound her to his revenge with a promise he never meant to keep. She wove an Unlight about them, and they came down upon the Guarded Realm at the hour of a high feast, when Valmar and Tirion stood empty. Melkor pierced each of the Two Trees with his spear and Ungoliant drank them dry, and they withered and died.
