Beastslayer - Chris Turner - Bog

Sword and Sorcery bonanza! 730 pages of adventure. "Another great sword and sorcery novel by author Chris Turner. Lizard Men, giant snake, and a fast paced story that will leave you trying to catch your breath. Strong characters and monsters aplenty. A must read for fans of Robert E. Howard."- kindle reviewer ★★★★★ For all Conan enthusiasts: the dark exploration which picks up where the film "Conan the Barbarian" left off. The larger-than-life Cimmerian hero and Subotai the Hyrkanian archer engage in a daring adventure. Saeth. A word barely kept lingering on the tongue of even the bravest warrior. The name of an age darkest to humankind. An age of sorcerers and far-flung magic. After the death of the sorcerer Thulsa Doom, Conan and Subotai flee north through the Ophirean highlands. In the shadowy land of Darfala, refuge is scarce, terrors many. A cave carved into the side of the mountain . . . a respite from a wicked storm? No, a sight to chill the blood. It will take everything the warriors have to survive the secrets of the mountain...and the ultimate menace, a far darker, older terror brewed by the lizard-men of lost Xatu. Heroic adventure in the tradition of Conan and Jurassic Park. A multi-book swordfest.

The rain sloughed from the heavens. The great glaciers cracked and shivered before bolts of lightning. Tempestuous gales blew around a globe on fire. "Hear me, O valiant people of Xatu, that when I say the ice splintered, slid, melted in massive shards, the waters rose! "The animals, stripped of their habitat, swarmed to Vharad, the only standing island in a sea of azure stretching as far as the eye could see. Some beasts burrowed into the ancient mountain and founded the tunnels below. Others fought for resources, scarce on a windy, water-cursed world-but only the reptiles survived-to evolve into creatures of nightmare, a horrendous brood, relying on strength and size to survive..." -Legend of the Flood, the mountain king Excerpt from Beastslayer: Rise of the Rgnadon
