The steep walls of the ancient fortress obscure the bottom of the valley. There, in the confines of the world known to Hyborians, where the legends surrounding the Black Kingdoms are born, a small group of intrepid adventurers dares to brave the dense vegetation that seems to be protecting the dark forgotten edifice.
Yag-Kosha guides his companions through this vegetal maze. The terrifying, yet peaceful extraterrestrial is searching for the magical gem that once belonged to his people, containing a world in which he can be reincarnated as Yogah of Yag.
After centuries of captivity, chained to the torture stand of the deplorable sorcerer Yara, his only wish is to end his days in peace as the last representative of his kind.
Accompanied by Hadrathus, who has come to help him perform the necessary ritual, the celestial being however knows that his time is running out. Conan, the seasoned mercenary from Cimmeria who escorts them, has discovered that they are being tracked down by a group of relentless and dangerous witch hunters, the Kushites. Being well-trained in the art of ensnaring their prey before slaying them without further ado, these witch hunters are determined to destroy the strange creature they believe to be a demon.
