The Hour of the Dragon (Conan the Conquerer) - Finn J D John - Bog

"Find the Heart of your kingdom." With these cryptic words, the sylvan witch Zelata sends Conan, the barbarian once-and-future King of Aquilonia, forth on a quest that will take him back along all the long, weary trails he once trod on his way to the kingship of the greatest of the Hyborian nations. Along the way, he'll battle traitorous noblemen, crafty bandits, scheming merchants, bloodthirsty pirates, mysterious assassins from the East, eldritch vampires from the tomb, and powerful Stygian wizard-priests - and, in the end, he'll face an enemy called up from the land's nightmare-haunted past, an evil ancient wizard who plans to bring back his 3,000-year-old empire of blood and sorcery .... The Pulp-Lit Press Annotated Storytellers' Editions are designed for readers who are interested in the art and craft of storytelling - which is to say, usually, fiction writers. Annotations are in-depth, and focus on identifying, appreciating and learning from the techniques and tools each author uses to weave his or her particular brand of narrative magic. All annotations appear in a separate section at the end of these editions, to prevent them from interrupting the experience of the story.
