About this listen

The story begins when Solomon Kane discovers the body of a murdered young girl named Bess on a roadside in France. Enraged by the senseless killing, Kane vows to pursue and destroy her killer, Le Loup, a ruthless bandit.
Kane follows Le Loup across Europe and eventually into the wilds of Africa. Along the way, he battles dangerous environments, local tribes, and supernatural elements, driven by a relentless sense of justice. In Africa, Kane allies with N'Longa, a powerful shaman, who gives him a magical staff that aids him in his quest.
The story climaxes with Kane confronting Le Loup in a remote village, where dark rituals and vengeance come to a head. Kane delivers justice, but the tale highlights his internal conflict—he’s not motivated by revenge but by divine justice and a deep moral code. Summary by Lina
