Sword-and-Sorcery Tales

Steel clashes against sorcery in these classic adventures of Conan the Cimmerian, the legendary barbarian hero created by Robert E. Howard.

Sword-and-Sorcery Tales: Volume 2 gathers some of Howard's most celebrated Conan stories, including A Witch Shall Be Born, Queen of the Black Coast, Shadows in the Moonlight, The People of the Black Circle, and The Devil in Iron. Set within the savage kingdoms of the Hyborian Age, these tales follow Conan across pirate-haunted seas, forbidden jungles, cursed islands, and war-torn empires where ancient horrors and dark magic wait beyond the edges of civilization.

Whether sailing beside the fierce pirate queen Bªlit along the Black Coast, battling sinister sorcerers and hidden cults, or confronting monstrous beings awakened from forgotten ages, Conan survives through sheer strength, cunning, and indomitable will. Each story plunges the reader into a brutal world of treachery, warfare, supernatural terror, and relentless adventure.

From the haunting mysteries of abandoned ruins to desperate struggles against tyrants and demons, Howard's stories helped define the modern sword-and-sorcery genre through their vivid atmosphere, fast-paced action, and larger-than-life heroism.

Dark, violent, and unforgettable, Sword-and-Sorcery Tales: Volume 2 remains an essential collection of heroic fantasy from one of the genre's most influential masters.
