☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeMystery and intrigue reign in issue #216 of The Savage Sword of Conan, where the cover — penciled and inked by Toni Taylor — plunges the Barbarian into a treacherous royal court. Conan crouches weapon in hand on a checkered floor, caught between a luminous, mummy-wrapped Crystal Queen figure and a pair of menacing blue skeletal creatures closing in from the right. It's a vivid, atmospheric setup for "The Vengeance of Nitocris," brought to life inside by writer Roy Thomas alongside artists and inkers Alfredo Alcala and E. R. Cruz.

Once upon a time, the high priest Kha Semblor had the king of Stygia murdered, and was in turn slain by the king's sister Nitocris. Hundreds of years later, Conan meets the witch Sabbatha and her daughter Rosina, who both share an unhealty affection for some magic artifacts, a diamond and a set of crystal miniature figurines. Rosina and the artifacts are taken by the sibling magicians Stornella and Valvaxier, who are planning to use their magic to replace the queen of Stygia. The crystal miniatures come alive, and Conan and Rosina barely escape death.
