Series: Conan the Barbarian

In his hugely influential and tempestuous career, Robert E. Howard created the genre

that came to be known as sword and sorcery—and brought to life one of fantasy’s boldest

and most enduring figures: Conan the Cimmerian—reaver, slayer, barbarian, king.

“Stories such as ‘The People of the Black Circle’ glow with the fierce and eldritch light of [Howard’s] frenzied intensity.”—Stephen King

This lavishly illustrated volume gathers together three of Howard’s longest and most

famous Conan stories–two of them printed for the first time directly from Howard’ s typescript–along with a collection of the author’s previously unpublished and rarely

seen outlines, notes, and drafts. Longtime fans and new readers alike will agree

that The Bloody Crown of Conan merits a place of honor on every fantasy lover’s bookshelf.

THE PEOPLE OF THE BLACK CIRCLE

Amid the towering crags of Vendhya, in the shadowy

citadel of the Black Circle, Yasmina of the golden throne seeks vengeance against

the Black Seers. Her only ally is also her most formidable enemy–Conan, the outlaw

chief.

THE HOUR OF THE DRAGON

Toppled from the throne of Aquilonia by the evil machinations

of an undead wizard, Conan must find the fabled jewel known as the Heart of Ahriman

to reclaim his crown . . . and save his life.

A WITCH SHALL BE BORN

A malevolent

witch of evil beauty. An enslaved queen. A kingdom in the iron grip of ruthless mercenaries.

And Conan, who plots deadly vengeance against the human wolf who left him in the

desert to die.

Reviews for Bloody Crown of Conan (#2 Omnibus Conan the Barbarian)

Stories such as The People of the Black Circle glow with the fierce and eldritch light of his frenzied intensity. -STEPHEN KING I adore these books. Howard had a gritty, vibrant style-broadsword writing that cut its way to the heart, with heroes who are truly larger than life. I heartily recommend them to anyone who loves fantasy. -DAVID GEMMELL, author of Legend and White Wolf Stories such as The People of the Black Circle glow with the fierce and eldritch light of his frenzied intensity.
