BY CROM! Experience Robert E. Howard's iconic Cimmerian in an unfiltered light—violent and sexual, just as intended! This collection features two complete stories: "The People of the Black Circle" and "The Frost-Giant's Daughter," along with original prose and bonus material, all in a single hardcover volume. In "The People of the Black Circle," the kingdom of Vendhya mourns the death of its king, a victim of dark sorcery. His sister, Yasmina, seeks revenge and enlists Conan, chief of the Afghuli tribe. Complications arise when Conan's warriors are killed by Vendhya's men, leading to a power struggle where Yasmina finds herself serving Conan's interests instead. This adaptation by Sylvain Runberg and talented illustrator Jae Kwang Park brings to life one of Howard's most intricate tales, blending epic battles, witchcraft, and intrigue in a mystical Orient. "The Frost-Giant's Daughter" follows Conan, the last man standing after a brutal battle, as he encounters a stunning redheaded woman amidst a bloodstained snowfield. Driven by desire, he pursues her, only to be ensnared in a deadly trap set by two titans. Unbeknownst to him, his enchanting bride is Ymir's daughter, the frost-giant. This mythical tale, adapted by Robin Recht, captures the essence of violent desire and tests the Cimmerian's will in a whirlwind of passion and peril.
