David Lapham (''Stray Bullets'') pits Robert E Howard's original barbarian king against a terrifying magical foe from his doomed homeland of Atlantis! The Hate Witch has waited since the beginning of time for a great man of uncertain destiny who she can use to bring about the destruction of civilization. She believes that King Kull is that man, and has launched an all-out assault on Valusia, slaughtering its people, in an attempt to draw him to her seat of power - the wilds of Atlantis! Kull will have to return to his savage origins if he wants to hold onto the throne in Valusia, and save it from civil war.
