The Phoenix on the Sword by Robert E. Howard

5.0

I love Robert E. Howard’s poetic prose and this first swords and sorcery intro to the iconic Conan does not disappoint. Don’t worry that it’s all pretty words though! There’s plenty of political backstabbing (quite literally) and a heroic Conan stand as well as sinister dark magic and a helpful ghost to enjoy. Fun for all the family. Praise Crom.
