More foes fall before the savage sword of Conan! A past wrong comes back to haunt Conan in a tale of revenge! Stripped of his weapons, his strength and even his wits, the Cimmerian must dig deep if he wants to live to see the dawn! Then, a violent encounter in Shadizar puts young Conan in the hot seat in a deadly game of Serpent's Bluff! Now, he must navigate the seedy underworld of "civilized" gambling. But when the chips are down, he'll play his best hand -- the one holding good Brythunian steel!

Plus: Legendary creators Roy Thomas and Alan Davis spin an unforgettable tale as Conan leads a mysterious band of adventurers into the Himelian Mountains in search of a lost comrade. But Conan may get more than he bargained for when the startling truth behind the quest is uncovered!
