30-The Bloodstained God

About this book

Conan of Cimmeria has spent two years as a soldier of Turan, learning the craft of organized warfare. But trouble is always his bedfellow, and after one unruly episode too many he deserts the army and heads for the Kezankian Mountains on the eastern border of Zamora, chasing rumours of a fabulous treasure. In the black alleys of Arenjun, the City of Thieves, a cry of pain draws the mighty barbarian into a fight he never planned. Steel flashes, blood spills and a tortured hillman is snatched from his captors. But who were the men with the torches and tongs, and what do they want in the mountains? A mysterious stranger named Sassan knows more than he should about a map, an ancient temple that the hill tribes dare not enter, and a golden idol crusted with red jewels: the bloodstained god. This fast-moving sword-and-sorcery tale delivers everything fans of Robert E. Howard's hero expect: lightning duels, lurking treachery, forbidden ruins and a Cimmerian whose temper is as quick as his blade. It is volume 30 in the Conan chronology, and works as a thrilling short adventure for newcomers and long-time readers alike. Start reading online instantly in your browser, no download required.
