09-Tower Of The Elephant

About this book

Step into the lawless Maul, the thieves' quarter of the Zamorian city of Arenjun, where torches flare, wine flows and steel is never far from the hand. Here a young Cimmerian barbarian, new to civilization and bristling with pride, overhears whispers of a legendary treasure: the Elephant's Heart, a fabled jewel said to hold the secret of the sorcerer-priest Yara. Everyone swears the tower is impregnable. Its walls are slicker than glass, its gardens are patrolled by things that are not men, and its soldiers keep watch below. For the greatest thieves in the world, it is a challenge that no one has ever met. For Conan, it is an invitation. Robert E. Howard's classic of sword-and-sorcery fiction is one of the best-loved tales of the Hyborian Age. It blends fast-paced action, a vivid and dangerous city, and a creeping cosmic strangeness that turns a simple burglary into something far darker. This short story is a perfect entry point for new readers of Conan and a rewarding revisit for longtime fans of the barbarian from the north. At around 10,000 words, it is a quick, gripping read.
