"The queen is troubled." After the loss of the barbarian king's son, Conan's dark mood draws him further each day from his kingdom and his beloved queen, and her fears grow that her love is not enough to hold him. Have twenty years of civilization and the regal life quelled the Cimmerian's savage nature, or will Conan abandon hearth and home for the call of the wild? The Chronicles of King Conan furthers the legend of Robert E. Howard's epic creation, collecting for the first time the long out-of-print Conan the King tales originally published by Marvel Comics.
