Conan the Barbarian: Thrice Marked for Death Vol. 2 cover

This book is perfect for fans of Robert E. Howard and his immortal creation, Conan the Barbarian. Filled with high adventure, savage combat and rollicking two fisted action! In Conan, Howard forged not only a whole new genre - sword and sorcery, but also created a truly legendary character and a thousand pale imitators. After 90 years Conan still going strong! CROM! Now 27 and mourning the death of his beloved Belit, when Conan is approached by the Thieves Guild to act as muscle for a heist in Shadizar they're planning, Conan agrees, hoping that some mindless wanton violence will drown the pain he's feeling. Despite the mission being a success, the gang inadvertently unleash a trio of vengeful, dark and deadly spirits who guarded the treasure. Now freed the spirits proceed to possess each member of the group leaving Conan as the last man standing and forced to find a way to stop them or suffer the same fate. It is a fight unlike any he has ever faced before and one that will take him to a place of legend and myth. In this the second volume of the new Conan The Barbarian adventures writer Jim Zub teams up with the legendary artist Doug Braithwaite for a truly extraordinary and savage new tale.
