The Chronicles of Conan #13

In "The Vale of Lost Women," Conan’s path crosses with Livia after he slays King Bajujh of the Bakalah Tribe, freeing her from captivity. But her escape is cut short when she’s taken by the mysterious Lost Women of the Vale, a place of ancient secrets and forgotten sorcery. When a monstrous winged demon-bat attacks, Conan must once again step into the shadows to save her—this time not for conquest, but for a chance at redemption.

In the heat of a crumbling kingdom, Conan steps into the fray when Queen Tananda is threatened by a raging mob, earning her trust and the title of captain of her guards. As Lord Tuthmes unleashes a swine-demon to eliminate Amboola and seize power, the arrival of Diana of Nemedia—presented as a slave—stirs unexpected tension. With rival lords scheming and ancient horrors stirring, Conan finds himself caught between loyalty, duty, and the growing pull of a woman he barely knows.

In "Demon of the Night!", Conan and Diana of Nemedia flee a city in chaos after Queen Tananda’s cruel reign ends in revolt. With the streets alive with fury and a monstrous swine-demon loose, the two must outrun both the mob and the dark forces that summoned it, riding through a storm as the city burns behind them.
