Written by Roy Thomas with art by Mike Docherty and others, these tales showcase the Cimmerian's adventures in the Hyborian Age, including encounters with sorcery and ancient gods. The collection also includes additional stories that highlight Conan's relentless struggle against dark forces and his quest for glory and survival.
In "The Horror Beneath the Hills!", Conan returns to the decadent city of Pergona, now ruled by the grotesquely swollen Murilo and Jenna, whose opulence masks a growing terror. As citizens vanish and fear spreads, Conan, along with allies Jonnwalli, Dukenrik, and Petroccia, ventures into the cursed caverns beneath the hills—only to be captured by the enigmatic Eilaynia, Princess of Mist, whose motives remain as shadowed as the tunnels they’ve entered.
In "The Eternity War!", Conan is drawn into a mythic conflict when Princess Eilaynia of Mists recounts the ancient war between her people and the dragon-rider Mayella. As Eilaynia's influence deepens, she compels Conan to lead a desperate charge against Mayella’s forces, plunging him into a battle that blurs the lines between loyalty, desire, and destiny. With allies like Atreah, Jonnwalli, and the enigmatic Conclave of Wizards at his side, Conan must navigate a war that reaches beyond time—where sacrifice, love, and the fate of kingdoms hang in the balance.
In "The Witches of Nexxx," Conan journeys with the reluctant sons of a forgotten god—Dukenrik and Jonnwalli—after the witches of Nexxx unveil their dark lineage. With the help of a skeletal sky-boat and a crew of unlikely allies, the trio sails into the shadowed realm of Stygia, where ancient terrors and buried bloodlines threaten to consume them all.
In "The Blood Red Eye of Truth!", Conan is drawn into a deadly mission when Liirix offers to send him home in exchange for dismantling the Sect of the Unknowable One. With the help of Shikar, Conan journeys to the Unnameable City, where he confronts the Unknowable One and claims the legendary Blood-Red Eye. But when the moment comes to deliver the Eye to Liirix, Conan's resolve shifts—leading to a choice that could alter fate itself.
In "Bride of the Conqueror," Conan stands on the brink of marriage to Queen Zenobia, but the wedding night brings a terrifying deception—Tsotha-Lanti has summoned a demon to impersonate her, and the Royal Herald announces the union as a trap. With the help of the Royal Herald and his wits, Conan uncovers the truth, facing down the demon and the treacherous Count Drago and his Aquilonian Rebels. As the city trembles beneath the shadow of sorcery and betrayal, Conan must protect the woman he loves from a scheme that reaches into the deepest corridors of power and magic.
