49-Black Colossus

About this book

In the sun-scorched desert southeast of Shem lie the ruins of Kuthchemes, a dead city that has kept its secrets for three thousand years. At its heart rises a gleaming ivory dome, untouched by time, where the dark sorcerer Thugra Khotan sleeps among his treasure. Shevatas, the most daring master-thief of Zamora, has come to claim it, armed with a poisoned blade, forbidden lore and nerves of iron. But some riches are guarded by more than serpents, and what wakes in the ruins will not stay buried. As the shadow of an ancient evil stretches across the Hyborian Age, kingdoms tremble and a desperate people look for a champion who can stand against sorcery and war. Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan the Cimmerian, delivers a classic of sword-and-sorcery: forgotten temples, savage battles, dark magic and a hero forged from steel and defiance. Black Colossus is a short, fast-paced tale of about 14,500 words, ideal for fans of heroic fantasy and pulp adventure, and an essential entry in the Conan chronology as number 49 in this collection.
