Conan: The Brides of Crom

By the Bram Stoker Award Winning author of the Fisherman, this masterful and haunting blend of horror and fantasy sees a young Conan visit the cursed village where the ultimate crime took place. Where will this journey into the darkness take the young barbarian?

On the day he was born, warriors attacked Conans village in Cimmeria, kidnapping children before fleeing. The villagers pursued the raiders and exterminated them to a man. But they were too late. The children were already dead.

Fourteen years later, Conan and his cousin, Ruardih visit the site of the massacre, finding strange artefacts and feeling a dreadful unease as they near the cursed village. Upon their arrival, they are greeted by the corpses of the damned.

Despite the portents, Conan and Ruaridh continue exploring the village. Met with bizarre and arcane creatures, they will stumble upon darknesses that should not have been revisited. What is this strange place? Who were the mysterious raiders who attacked the village? And why did they sacrifice innocent children? The answers lie deeper in the mountains, and Conan will chase them into the dark, whatever the cost.
