Publisher's Blurb – Lower Cover
OUT OF A DARK AGE COMES THE GREATEST WARRIOR OF ALL TIME . . .

In a land of darkling twilight, a world of ancient wizards and dazzling treasures, of raging monsters and valiant warriors, the fate of kingdoms balances on his blade alone . . .

As a child he saw his parents slaughtered by the Snake Cult. In slavery he grew to mighty manhood, trained as a master swordsman and gladiator. As he slaved in chains he planned for freedom and murderous revenge. His day would come. For he was destined to become the warrior who would rule all . . .

Thief. Warrior. Gladiator. King.

CONAN THE BARBARIAN.
