Quick Summary: Conan is king of Aquilonia, and people are plotting to depose him by reviving a long-dead wizard. Conan is saved from death and travels the land seeking revenge and a way to regain his kingdom.
A decent fantasy read. Nothing super spectacular to prioritize, but if you enjoy Conan it is a good story.
