Conan The Sword Of Skelos - Andrew Offutt

Through the desert of death to the kingdom of Zamboula rode the great Conan and his companion, the fierce and beauteous Isparana, with the precious cargo - the amulet called the Eye of Erlik whose mighty magic could make a beggar a king, and a king emperor. Yet soon they would learn that their reward was not to be the dazzle of riches, but the threat of cruel execution at the hands of the murderous tyrant Akter Khan and his evil mage, Zafra. Not even the barbarous strength of Conan could defeat the deadly sorcery within the most terrible talisman of all -- the Sword of Skelos

With the beautiful and fierce Isparana at his side, Conan must cross a brutal and deadly desert in order to deliver their precious cargo-a magical amulet known as the Eye of Erlik. But rather than collecting untold riches for their rare treasure, they are betrayed by a ruthless tyrant and his evil mage.

Conan has faced many mortal dangers, perils of magic and perils of steel. But when the treacherous prestidigitator unleashes the bloodthirsty Sword of Skelos, a weapon of both magic and steel-a sword that can fight on its own-Conan faces one of his most dire challenges.

How will Conan survive this battle, when there is no foe to slay?
