My Rating “The Demon Of The Maze!” Trapped in an underground maze filled with magic and monsters, Red Sonja must find her way back to the sewers from which she was kidnapped. Why, oh why, did she choose to come to Venzia? Nothing but trouble has followed the She-Devil with a Sword since her arrival
My Rating “Massacred Memories” Conan had always been there for Hydallan. From their childhood ascension as unskilled warriors, to the Fortress Venarium where the Cimmerian tribes united to rout an Aquilonian army—a deed thought impossible.

My Rating “Part 4: Ice & Flames – Chapter One” Dragonfire erupts all around Conan and Dragonero, yet the power of the sword Saevasechta shields both men with a magic barrier. This is the sword of the ancients! A weapon forged by the ancestors of Ian Aranill in a time long forgotten. No Dragon has
My Rating “The Exchange” Chains and a darkened ship’s hold are all that stand between Conan of Cimmeria and freedom.

They have made one serious mistake. Among the captives
My Rating “Cursed Shores Beyond – Part One: Perilous Waters” Crested waves spill over the deck of the Briney Wren, pushing sailors violently toward the forecastle.

My Rating “The Garden Of Fear” Conan and Jenna have escaped the cult of the Night-God. The city of Shadizar soon fades into the distance. Days later, in the mountains to the east, the two travelers will have their resolve tested once again. A clan of primitive ape men attack Conan for the woman he
