King Conan's life, and that of his whole era is threatened when Thoth-Amon of the Ring sends a resurrected long dead Queen of Stygia to kill Robert E. Howard. If Queen Nephret, the beautiful one, succeeds, the Hyborian Age itself will be destroyed, and the evil god Set will reign supreme. King Conan himself, and his retinue and people, will be erased, body and soul! He must travel to Cross Plains, Texas in the early 1930's to stop this from happening. Pelias the Wizard can help him!
