Conan and his men have journeyed for several hours from Velitrium, the raw, turbulent frontier town situated on the banks of Thunder River. There, on the western border of the kingdom of Aquilonia, the Cimmerian thinks back to the time of the end of Conajohara. This province was slowly conquered from wild Pictish territory, whose people were pushed back beyond the Black River in a succession of bloody massacres.

Returning to Aquilonia after many years of adventure, Conan has been given a command position in King Numedides’ army. He has not forgotten Zogar Sag, the sinister shaman who unified the tribes and enabled the lost territory to be reclaimed. Fort Tuscelan, then the most western fortress of Aquilonia, was wiped off the map, and many settlers and soldiers perished at the hands of the Picts who were drunk with revenge and fury.

If General Conan and a company of Bossonian infantry patrol the border today, it is because the Picts are once again restless and the Cimmerian has wanted to come and inspect the zones on the banks of the Thunder himself. As the company stops in the ruins of a village once destroyed by the Picts, warriors wearing war paint suddenly appear and fall upon the soldiers who have neither seen nor heard them emerge from the age-old forest.

Suddenly the blood of the Cimmerian freezes as the incarnation of a nightmarish legend with its spectral-hued coat pads into the village. A creature almost as big as a bear and with demonic ferocity... a sabertooth tiger.
