On sale Dec 26, 2023 | 50 Pages | 9781803366364

Capturing the electric short fiction energy that led Robert E. Howard to be one of the top fantasy writers of the century, with exclusive serialized eBook stories starring Conan, Solomon Kane, and more by many of today’s top writers in fantasy and sword-and-sorcery.

Conan is hired by a wealthy merchant to recover the man’s wife and son, who have been abducted by a dark sorcerer. The money is good and he has no trouble seeing to it that there is one less sorcerer in the world. So with four soldiers, the Cimmerian follows the trail into a dense Stygian jungle. They are set upon by a demon spawn that kills the entire party—Conan only manages to escape death by wounding the creature during the melee. Doggedly he pursues and locates his quarry, only to discover that from the very start, his mission was a fool’s errand—one with fatal consequences.
BRIAN D. ANDERSON is the fantasy author of The Godling Chronicles, Dragonvein, and Akiri (with Steven Savile) series. After a fifteen-year-long career in music, he rediscovered his boyhood love of writing. His current series is The Sorcerer’s Song, a trilogy for Tor Books. Brian lives in the sleepy southern town of Fairhope, Alabama with his wife and son, who inspire him daily.
