She seeks truth — and revenge! Journey into the Hyborian Age with the hero from the classic Conan tale “Red Nails” in a story set before that fan-favorite tale! Before Robert E. Howard’s Valeria became a pirate and mercenary — before she crossed paths with Conan and the Red Brotherhood — Valeria was a young woman from Aquilonia seeking justice for a crime gone unpunished. But as she makes her way in the cruel Hyborian world, proving herself against those who doubt her abilities, she will find more than she bargained for in her thirst for vengeance! Valeria’s deadly fighting skills will be put to the test, and her trust will be shaken, as she hunts her brother’s killer — and comes into her own as a force to be reckoned with!
