Conan — Michael A. Stackpole

THIEF. PIRATE. BARBARIAN. HERO ...

Born in the fires of battle, Conan of Cimmeria was raised to face the cold, merciless world with every ounce of strength and courage he possessed. And when the cruel warlord Khalar Zym slaughtered his father and his village, he was cast out into that world, alone.

Wandering the land, Conan is forged into a peerless warrior by hardship and bloodshed.
Years later, he crosses paths again with Zym and his armies. But before Conan can exact vengeance, he must contend with the warlord's daughter -- the seductive witch Marique -- and a host of monstrous creatures. Only then will Conan's quest bring him face-to-face with Zym in an epic battle to avenge his people -- and save the world.
