Savage Sword of Conan #1

In the frozen wastes of a shattered battlefield, Conan pursues the elusive Atali through the snow, cutting down her two frost giant brothers in a clash of steel and ice. Just as he captures her, the mighty Ymir arrives, claiming his daughter with a presence as ancient and unyielding as the mountain itself.

In "Night of the Dark God," Conan returns to his homeland of Cimmeria only to find his childhood love, Mala, taken by Vanir raiders. Pursuing them by sea, he stumbles upon a shipwreck littered with dead Vanir and Picts, and takes a dark idol from the wreckage. As he races toward the Isle of Swords to save Mala from being forced into marriage with Thorfel the Fair, he finds himself caught in a storm of blood, betrayal, and ancient magic—where even the dead may not stay buried.

In "The Dweller in the Dark," Conan, now Captain of the royal guard and lover to Queen Fatima of Zahmahn, finds himself betrayed when the queen discovers him with the servant girl Yaila. Sent to the dungeon to be consumed by the ancient terror known as the Dweller in the Dark, Conan and Yaila survive—but only by turning on their former mistress. With Zahmahn bound by tradition to be ruled by a woman, Conan names Yaila its new queen.

In "Black Colossus," Conan is entrusted by Princess Yasmela to lead her army against the invading forces of Natohk. As the two armies clash, Conan must confront not only the enemy's might but also a demonic chariot that draws him into a deadly pursuit, forcing him to face the sorcerer in a battle that will test his strength and resolve.

In "Demons of the Summit," Conan and the fugitive Jamal flee a treacherous betrayal, only to be cornered by the savage forces of the Misty Mountains. Taken hostage by Shanya, the daughter of a Khozgari chief, they are thrust into a deadly ordeal when the Demons of the Summit rise to claim them. With Jamal dead and Shanya captured by the summit people’s leader Shangara, Conan must push through the mountain’s horrors to save her—before she becomes a prize for the summit’s dark designs.

In "Iron Shadows in the Moon," Conan and his companion flee the blood-soaked aftermath of their victory, seeking refuge on a distant island where the jungle hums with ancient secrets. Amid crumbling ruins and silent iron statues, they uncover a presence older than memory—watching, waiting, in the moonlight.

In "People of the Dark," Jim O'Brien’s desperate scheme to win Eleanor’s affection takes a wild turn when a fall into a forgotten cavern strands him in the body of Conan, thrusting him into a brutal world of sword and sorcery. Now wielding the Cimmerian’s strength and facing the lurking horrors of the underground, Jim must survive the cavern’s deadly secrets—before he’s lost to the past forever.

In "The Forever Phial," Conan encounters Ranephi, a man cursed with eternal life yet doomed to die by the hand of a barbarian. Drawn into a deadly game of fate and desperation, Conan finds himself the target of a man who longs to end his endless existence.

Conan wakes aboard a slave ship, bound for the same fate as the others—until he seizes control of the galley and turns the tide. With the crew now his, he sets course south, chasing a fleeing Stygian vessel through treacherous waters.

In "The Curse of the Cat-Goddess," Conan returns to his desert Zuagir kin only to find them corrupted by a sinister religious caravan’s plunder. As a feline idol twists minds and turns allies into puppets, Conan must break free from its grip before the madness spreads further.
