A grand adventure of the mighty thewed barbarian, from one of fantasy’s biggest names.

Conan... The name has inspired generations, one that resounds through time immemorial. Yet it all began with a handful of stories from Robert E. Howard. In the decades since, there have been feature films, television and comic book series, and numerous spin-off novels. In 1979, Poul Anderson – winner of a staggering eight Hugo and three Nebula Awards – wrote what is regarded as one of the finest adventures in the canon of Conan: Conan the Rebel.

Striking at the heart of tyranny, Conan must break the chains of oppression before eternal darkness claims them all.
