Conan #18

In "Die Nacht der weissen Königin," Kull and his Red Slayers race to halt a sinister ritual where worshipers of the nameless serpent god prepare to sacrifice a newborn mother and her twin infants—avatars of their dark deity. Though Kull orders his trusted advisor Tu to kill the children, Tu spares them, entrusting the twins to a passing shepherd. Ten thousand years later, the echoes of that mercy ripple through time as Conan confronts the long-buried legacy of that fateful decision.

Conan leads a band of pirates through the storm-lashed Northern seas when they stumble upon a mysterious ship carrying warrior priests guarding a colossal statue of a slumbering god. The air grows thick with dread as the crew confronts the enigmatic guardians and the ancient, silent power they protect.

In "Die lebende Klinge des Jergal Zadh," a cursed blade bound to a sorcerer’s will becomes the instrument of a deadly game, as Cleolanthe, a woman caught between loyalty and desire, is sent to ensnare the future king. When her mission collides with her growing feelings for Conan, she must choose between her master’s dark design and the fleeting warmth of a love that cannot last.
