Dark sorcery. Ancient conspiracies. One barbarian standing against the powers of the world.

When the king of Vendhya falls victim to a sinister magical assassination, his sister, the proud and formidable Devi Yasmina, swears vengeance against the mysterious Black Seers of Yimsha—an ancient order of sorcerers whose influence stretches across kingdoms.

To force the legendary Conan the Cimmerian into her service, Yasmina captures several of his trusted warriors. Conan responds in typical fashion: by infiltrating her palace, defeating her guards, and kidnapping the Devi herself.

What begins as a clash between enemies soon becomes a desperate struggle for survival as Conan and Yasmina find themselves pursued by armies, assassins, and the terrifying Black Seers. Across mountain strongholds, hidden temples, and realms touched by dark magic, the unlikely pair must confront a threat that could plunge the world into chaos.

Widely regarded as one of the greatest Conan adventures ever written, The People of the Black Circle combines thrilling action, rich worldbuilding, sinister sorcery, and one of Robert E. Howard's most compelling partnerships. Expertly narrated by William Johnston, this classic sword-and-sorcery masterpiece remains a cornerstone of heroic fantasy.
