Stories

The Road of the Eagles · 24 pages
Conan and his pirates chase after the Turanian general Artaban, who has killed their wounded comrades in cold blood. Artaban saves the slave girl Roxana from Hyrkanian reavers, and she quickly talks him into saving Prince Teyaspa of Turan, who is being held prisoner in the castle of Gleg the Zaporoskan. Meanwhile, Conan befriends Vinashko, a former Yuetshi chief who shows Conan a secret passage to Gleg's castle, where Conan finds and kills Artaban. In despair, Roxana kills Teyaspa and then herself. Chased by demons, Conan escapes only to find that the pirates have abandoned him.
