Back cover:Robert E. Howard's CONAN was never so lusty, never so deadly, as in this new adventure chronicling the early years of when the youthful sword-wielder first rode out of the Cimmerian hills and into the broad, savage world, turning from smith's son, to thief, to CONAN THE MERCENARY.
Imprisoned by sorcery, bound by an impetuous pledge of loylty, the greatest hero of them all battles for the greatest treasure of them all--his very soul! Only the dark eyed, sultry ruler of Khauran, Land of Unhappy Queens, can shatter the mirror which holds his soul prisoner--but to do that she must shatter also her only hope of happiness in the arms of her demon lover.
