CONAN - L’OMBRA DEL SERPENTE

The legendary Cimmerian returns with all his brutal might and indomitable charisma: Conan – L'Ombra del Serpente is an epic novel marking the triumphant return of the Barbarian of Cimmeria, his first original adventure in over a decade. S. M. Stirling brings us back into the beating heart of the Hyborian Age with a prequel set immediately before Robert E. Howard’s famed tale “Red Nails”, shedding new light on Conan’s exploits and on dangers only a warrior of his mettle can face.

Conan is now a mercenary in the service of Zarallo, operating in the wild lands of Sukhmet, an outpost on the borders of Stygia where civilization fades into desert and the power of Set seeps through like poison. It is here that the Cimmerian crosses paths with Valeria of the Red Brotherhood, a fearless and deadly pirate who, like him, has taken service with the Free Companions. When Valeria clashes with an exiled Stygian noble, Conan finds himself drawn into a venomous intrigue, overshadowed by a deadly curse. The shadows lengthen, and what lurks beyond the decaying walls of Sukhmet is older and far more dangerous than Conan suspects.
