Conan the Defender
Caught up in the wild seethings of rebellion, sworn to defend to the death ancient Nemedia's tottering throne, bewitched by a beautiful and utterly shameless woman of sapphire and gold, the majestic Cimmerian pits himself against the magic-spawned menace that can never die: the insuperably satanic Simulacrum of Albanus!
