Sword-and-Sorcery Tales

Savage kingdoms, ancient horrors, and relentless battle await in this second collection of classic Conan adventures by Robert E. Howard.

Sword-and-Sorcery Tales: Volume 3 gathers some of the most celebrated stories from Howard's legendary Hyborian Age saga, including Jewels of Gwahlur, Beyond the Black River, and Red Nails. Across haunted wildernesses, forbidden cities, pirate seas, and forgotten temples, Conan the Cimmerian confronts dark sorcery, monstrous creatures, ruthless warlords, and civilizations corrupted by greed and violence.

Whether crossing the deadly frontier beyond the Black River, battling sinister magicians in the mountains of Vendhya, seeking hidden treasure among ancient ruins, or surviving the blood-soaked labyrinths of the dying city in Red Nails, Conan faces every danger with ferocity, cunning, and indomitable will. Howard's stories combine brutal combat, eerie atmosphere, and fast-paced adventure with unforgettable settings drawn from one of fantasy literature's richest imagined worlds.

Blending sword-and-sorcery fantasy, horror, and pulp adventure, these tales helped define the modern heroic fantasy genre and remain among the most influential fantasy stories ever written.

Dark, violent, and filled with supernatural menace, Sword-and-Sorcery Tales: Volume 3 presents Conan at his most iconic across some of Robert E. Howard's greatest adventures.
