About this book
A jewel glowing over an ancient sarcophagus opens a struggle for two crowns. In Robert E. Howard's fantasy novel, four conspirators restore the magician Xaltotun to life, hoping his powers will secure the thrones of Nemedia and Aquilonia for their chosen rulers. The Heart of Ahriman makes their scheme possible, but the awakened priest brings memories of the vanished realm of Acheron.
Against this alliance stands Conan, whose arrival among loyal warriors in Poitain turns disbelief into celebration. He asks them to keep his survival secret as they take him to Count Trocero. Candlelit ritual chambers give way to guarded mountain passes, fertile southern plains and castles held by fighting men. Readers who enjoy invented kingdoms, dangerous magic and contests of loyalty will find an adventure built around the relationship between a ruler and the people ready to follow him.
