King Conan's life, and that of his whole era is threatened when Thoth-Amon of the Ring sends a resurrected long dead Queen of Stygia to kill Robert E. Howard. If Queen Nephret, the beautiful one, succeeds, the Hyborian Age itself will be destroyed, and the evil god Set will reign supreme.
King Conan himself, and his retinue and people, will be erased, body and soul! He must travel to Cross Plains, Texas in the early 1930's to stop this from happening. Pelias the Wizard can help him!

Robert E Howard
Robert E. Howard (1906-1936) was born and raised in rural Texas, the son of a pioneer physician. He began writing professionally at the age of fifteen and turned out dozens of tales of heroic and supernatural fantasy, featuring many memorable creations - including the character he is best remembered for: Conan of Cimmeria. These stories, mostly published in Weird Tales, won him a huge audience across the world and influenced a whole generation of writers, from Robert Jordan to Raymond E. Feist. Sadly, Howard killed himself in June 1936 when he learned that his beloved mother had fallen into a coma.
