Conan the Cimmerian #9

Natohk, a powerful wizard with the desert tribes of Shem under his command, now looks to expand his motley empire northward into politically unstable Kothwhere Koth's leaders are more likely to kill each other on the battlefield than join together to face a common foe. The only thing standing in Natohk's way is the small border kingdom of Khoraja and their battered military forces, now led by the inexperienced Princess Yasmela. Amalric's mercenarieswith Conan still riding among their numbersare charged with reinforcing Yasmela's depleted army, as the conquering Natohk draws near and Yasmela is haunted by both evil threats and holy visions. Timothy Truman, Tomás Giorello, and José Villarrubia continue their adaptation of Robert E. Howard's "Black Colossus," a chilling tale that finds Conan at a strange crossroads in his mercenary career and on the path to the largest battle of his life, as a clash between Natohk and Amalric's men appears inevitable!
