Howard and first published in Weird Tales magazine circa January 1933.

With covers by fan--favorite Darick Robertson, this fast--paced, standalone miniseries is sure to please fans of breathtaking artwork and edge--of--your--seat adventure--and it's a great introduction to Howard's tales of King Conan! After King Conan of Aquilonia's army has been slain, he is taken prisoner and put into the Kothian dungeon at Khorshemish He rescues a sorcerer, Pelias and escapes, only to find that the capital Tarantia has been taken over by a rival in his absence, and the Kothian army is set to destroy another city... Story (Spoilers!) Even though he's been beaten nearly to death, chained to a wall, and locked away deep within Tsotha's fortress, Conan is by no means out of commission. While the foes and betrayers who stripped him of his crown celebrate their acquisition of Aquilonia, Conan plans his escape. However, an additional, seemingly insignificant foe from Conan's past stalks Tsotha's horrific dungeons waiting for a chance to kill the legendary barbarian... Conan goes against his ingrained barbarian instincts and sides with a strange wizard in order to topple those who ensnared them both in the horrific dungeons beneath the Scarlet Citadel! Conan goes against his Cimmerian instincts and sides with Pelias the wizard, who can help the barbarian exact revenge on those who took his crown! Conan races to Aquilonia to regain his throne!
