59-Black Tears

About this book

The Red Waste burns under a merciless sun, and in its shadow a Turanian trap is sprung on the most feared outlaw band on the borders of Turan. But the Zuagir raiders are led by Conan the Cimmerian, a barbarian who knows that the only road through an ambush is the unexpected. Black Tears is a swift, sword-swinging adventure in the classic Hyborian Age tradition. Betrayed by a smiling Zamorian rogue who sold his chief for a purse of silver, Conan charges up the blood-soaked slopes, cuts down his enemies and sets out across the scorching desert to hunt the traitor. Ahead lies a land of ghosts, where the old sands hide stranger dangers than any scimitar. This tale pairs vivid desert landscapes with fierce battles, treacherous allies and the wry humour of a hero who is as cunning as he is strong. It is an ideal read for fans of sword-and-sorcery, heroic fantasy and the legendary Conan saga, whether you are returning to Robert E. Howard's world or discovering the Cimmerian for the first time. At around 9,800 words, it is a quick, gripping read that fits neatly into an evening. Start reading online instantly in your browser, with no download required.
