The Phoenix on the Sword

In the kingdom of Aquilonia, Conan the Cimmerian has claimed the throne, but ruling a civilized kingdom proves more dangerous than conquering it. Surrounded by treacherous nobles and threatened by a conspiracy of powerful enemies, the barbarian king must rely on his strength, instincts, and courage to survive. As dark forces gather against him, ancient magic and political intrigue intertwine in a tale of betrayal, power, and the struggle to defend a hard-won crown. *The Phoenix on the Sword* marks the first published appearance of Conan in Howard’s legendary fantasy series.
