The Savage Sword of Conan: The Original Comics Omnibus #3

Conan treks through frozen peaks, drawn south by the promise of warmer lands, when he intervenes to save Ilga from a tribe of primitives. Though she falls to the legendary Ice Worm, Conan’s fury turns to action as he confronts the beast with burning coals, determined to avenge her.

In "Hawks over Shem," Conan returns to the decadent city of Asgalun, where the tyrannical King Akhirom rules through fear and the might of three ruthless mercenary armies. With the help of Farouz—secretly the Hyrkanian commander Mazdak—Conan plots revenge against Othbaal, while a desperate slave girl named Rufia tries to survive by playing the part of a god, sparking chaos in the court. As rival warlords clash and the city teeters on the edge of ruin, Conan and Rufia must flee the collapsing palace, pursued by vengeful nobles and the city’s own unraveling order.

In "The Road of the Eagles," Conan leads his pirates in a relentless pursuit of the ruthless Turanian general Artaban, seeking vengeance for the brutal murder of their comrades. As the trail leads through treacherous lands, Artaban’s unexpected mercy toward the slave girl Roxana sets off a chain of fateful choices—she convinces him to save Prince Teyaspa, setting the stage for a deadly game of survival. With help from the exiled Yuetshi chief Vinashko, Conan infiltrates Gleg’s fortress, but the path to retribution is shadowed by betrayal, loss, and the ghosts of those who didn’t make it out alive.

In "Legions of the Dead," young Conan joins Jarl Njal’s desperate quest into the frozen wastes of Hyperborea to rescue Njal’s daughter, Rann Njalsdatter, taken by the Witch-men of the Haloga fort. After a scouting party is brutally slain, Conan infiltrates the fortress, freeing Rann only to be captured as she flees—now pursued by the undead legion summoned by the ruthless Queen Vammatar.

In "The Star of Khorala," Conan arrives in Ophir with a legendary gem, hoping to sell it to Queen Marala—only to learn she’s been imprisoned by her own king. With Captain Garus at his side, Conan breaks her free, but they’re soon hunted by the treacherous Rigello and his men. Trapped in a crumbling ruin, they face certain death—until the spectral warriors of Marala’s forgotten past rise to defend them.
