Conan le Cimmérien
La Fille du géant du gel
Now available!

The Frost-Giant's Daughter

The only survivor of a battle, Conan sits in the middle of a blood-stained snow. The fight over, the Cimmerian suddenly finds himself invaded by a deep lassitude and a deep disgust. Until he meets a woman of supernatural beauty, blinding like the glare of the sun on the snow. Driven by an ardent desire, Conan decides to follow her but finds himself caught in a trap, attacked by two titans. In his passion, he was not suspicious. He could not imagine for a second that his bride was none other than Ymir's daughter: the giant of the freeze!

Mythical account both in form and substance, The Girl of the gel giant here is masterfully adapted by Robin Recht who manages to transcend the essence of this whirlwind of violent desire, a true love trap in which the strength of will of the Cimmerian is under severe strain.
