Young Conan has joined a band of Aesir, led by Jarl Njal, who have ventured into Hyperborea in order to free Njal's kidnapped daughter Rann. A scouting party is captured and tortured to death by the Hyperborean Witch-men in the Haloga fort. Conan sneaks into the fort and frees Rann, but Queen Vammatar sends the legion of the undead after them. Rann escapes while Conan is enslaved.
