Conan, the rogue

"The empire-building country of Turan mercilessly uses its power as it sees fit. But the struggle for power within is ruthless indeed. Father will kill son, brother will kill brother...to show power, to keep power, to gain power. Nowhere in Turan is this game played for such deadly stakes than between the sister cities of Fort Ghori and Khawarizm, where treachery and assassination are a way of life. Hither wanders Conan...barbarian, thief, mercenary...seeking a flagon of ale and a willing wench. Woe to those who would make the mistake of thinking Conan a witless fool who could be easily manipulated. But mistakes will be made..."--Cover.
