Conan #1/1997

In "Dödens blodröda rubin," Conan and the former slave girl Sorcha follow a treasure map to an ancient ruin, only to be overtaken by an expedition from a kingdom once ruled by the wise King Nekros. Now driven by greed and hidden betrayal, the group seeks the fabled gem shaped like blood—crafted to kill the king, whose magical shield once protected him—and the treasure that could restore their fallen realm. As the map leads them deeper into ruin and madness, the true cost of power begins to show.

In "Thulandra Thuus välde," newly crowned King Conan of Aquilonia faces a treacherous plot when the court's ancient sorcerer, Thulandra Thuu, orchestrates a deadly ambush to steal Conan’s throne and identity. Saved by the enigmatic dancer Alcina—once an enemy seeking to poison him—Conan returns to reclaim his crown, turning the tables on those who betrayed him. The story unfolds with sharp intrigue and swordplay, as power, deception, and redemption collide in the halls of a kingdom on the edge.
