The Savage Sword of Conan #9

Conan returns to his desert Zuagirs to find them in thrall to a sinister cat-like idol, its influence spreading like a shadow across the tribe. As the beast's hypnotic grip tightens, even his loyal companion Fazal falls under its sway—until Conan must fight through the haze to reclaim his will and end the curse before it consumes them all.

When a tiger returns to Atlantis, Kull finds the kingdom transformed—its old allies now in power, and a shadowy figure named Sarna wielding influence that defies reason. As old tensions flare and a mysterious beauty named Kareesha steps into his path, Kull must navigate treachery and sorcery in a land where loyalty is a blade with two edges.
