The hunt nears its end; on the limits of the kingdom of Nemedia, Conan picks up the trail of Skuthus, the sorcerer he has pursued relentlessly since Numalia.
Hailing from Stygia, the fearsome necromancer has failed in his attempt to eliminate Kalanthes, a priest of Ibis devoted to fighting the cult of the archdemon Set. Skuthus underestimated the tenacity of the mercenaries tasked with protecting the priest. Kalanthes, wounded but alive, remains in Numalia.
Taking refuge in the remains of a village he has eradicated using black magic, Skuthus focuses on rebuilding his forces to face his pursuers. He cannot disappoint his mentor a second time, as Thoth-Amon, High Priest of Set, is counting on him to terminate Kalanthes, his mortal enemy.
As the door bursts off its hinges under the weight of the Cimmerian’s blow, the sorcerer begins a strange, guttural chant. As the air begins to buzz around him, he laughs cruelly, confident that soon nothing will stand between him and Kalanthes.
