About this listen

 In my opinion, this is the ultimate Conan novel. Set during Conans zenith as the king of Aquilonia, he faces a treacherous downfall orchestrated by dark, malevolent magic from Stygia. Resurrected from the depths of history, a 3,000-year-old sorcerer from the most wicked empire wreaks havoc, aiding Conans enemies in their quest for power. The story unfolds with gripping twists and turns as it follows the Heart of Arihman, a powerful and enigmatic jewel from another universe. Conan, ever the fierce warrior, fights back against overwhelming odds, encounters stunning women who both assist and challenge him, and navigates through perilous lands. His past as a corsair and pirate comes back to haunt him in unexpected ways. This captivating narrative is a thrill ride for any Conan enthusiast.
