From the palaces, the plains and the pirate-strewn oceans of the Hyborian Age, warrior-barbarian Conan of Cimmeria carves his way through, dire threat and dark sorcery. As King of Aquilonia his forces are defeated by a terrible magician brought back to life from the claws of a death three thousand years before, by those who wish to conquer the lands anew. Crammed with swashbuckling swordplay, trademark butchery and the snatching of victory from the jaws of defeat, The hour if the Dragon is the classic Robert E Howard novel, with his lusty hero on a great quest t find the location of an ancient gem, the only means of destroying enemies ancient and new. Phantoms, Knights, guards, beasts from Hell and secretive priests, Robert E. Howard's magnificent Conan faces them all, with his characteristic wit and savage humanity.
