The Savage Sword of Kull #1

In a tale of brutal honor and desperate mercy, Kull arrives in Atlantis just as Sareeta, a woman of mixed heritage, is condemned to die by fire for her union with a Lemurian pirate. With a single, swift strike, he ends her suffering on her own nod—then flees as her people’s wrath turns on him. The cost of compassion in a world ruled by blood and code is measured in every step he takes.

In "The Forbidden Swamp," King Kull and his companion Brule venture into a cursed temple dedicated to the serpent god of Valusia, facing a monstrous undersea guardian. There, they encounter the enigmatic Thulsa Doom for the first time—his charm masking an unsettling intent—as he claims to seek passage to the City of Wonders, joining their perilous journey.

When Kull returns to Atlantis after years away, he finds the city transformed—its king, Om-Ra, and captain, Khor-Nah, now wielding power he barely recognizes. Amid shifting loyalties and old tensions, the enigmatic Sarna wields influence that defies explanation, while her assistant, Kareesha, claims to be more than the witch Kull once knew. As intrigue and danger rise during a royal parade, Kull must confront a dragon sent to kill him—only to find an unexpected ally in Kareesha.

King Kull ventures into the eerie house of a thousand mirrors, drawn by the whispers of Tuzun Thune, only to find his own reflection turning against him—lost in endless echoes of himself. Brule arrives just in time to pull him back from the brink, but the true danger may lie not in the glass, but in what it reveals.
