44-The Castle of Terror

About this book

Beyond the trackless deserts of Stygia lie the vast, sun-scorched grasslands of Kush, and across them trudges a lone figure: Conan of Cimmeria, barbarian, wanderer and master of the sword. Eight days on foot with nothing but his hunting bow and iron will have brought him to the edge of endurance, and now the savanna itself has turned against him. As night falls, burning eyes glimmer in the tall grass and a whole pride of Kushite lions closes in on his trail. His arrows are spent, his strength is failing, and no tree, rock or hillock offers refuge. Then something strange and unnatural stops the hunters in their tracks, and Conan finds himself drawn toward a danger far older and darker than any beast of the plains. The Castle of Terror is entry number 44 in the Conan chronology, a swift-paced tale of sword-and-sorcery adventure in the Hyborian Age. Expect relentless pursuit, savage landscapes, grim atmosphere and the fierce, uncompromising hero who made the genre famous. At about 6,000 words and ten short chapters, it is ideal for a single sitting and a perfect fit for fans of classic heroic fantasy.
