Set in a decaying lost city, the final story of the Conan series showcases the iconic character's adventures during the mythical Hyborian Age. Robert E. Howard, influenced by the violent myths of his Texan upbringing, created Conan, a barbarian-turned-King, who became central to the 'sword and sorcery' genre. This 1936 tale, along with Howard's earlier works, solidified his legacy, leading to numerous adaptations, including popular films. A new introductory biography accompanies this republication to provide additional context about Howard's life and writing journey.
