Capturing the electric short fiction energy that led Robert E. Howard to be one of the top fantasy writers of the century, with exclusive serialized eBook stories starring Conan, Solomon Kane, and more by many of today's top writers in fantasy and sword-and-sorcery.
Seeking to avoid the Stygian border guard and cross the River Styx, Conan, the sorceress Zelandra, her scribe Neesa, and bodyguard Heng Shih discover a town that seems to be deserted. To preserve his own life, the town's lord had bargained with a demon that still lurks there. It wants Zelandra's cache of Emerald Lotus and will kill anyone who tries to stop it. Conan and his allies must defeat the demon and its minions—human and inhuman—in order to survive. Originally published as a twelve-part serial in Marvel'sConan the Barbarian comic book (2019-2020), this is a direct sequel to CONAN AND THE EMERALD LOTUS, re-released this month in the new volume CONAN IN THE CITY OF THE DEAD.
