Conan the Barbarian is at it again, a genuinely mythic character yet rendered with gritty realism, the special legacy of Conan's creator, Texan Robert E. Howard. The daring Cimmerian seeks his fortune in a newly excavated tomb beneath ancient Stygia. There he encounters apocalyptic dangers, depraved priesthoods, and a voluptuous temptress. Can he discern allies from enemies? And can he possibly prevail against a god?
