| Before he can bring off his plans for building a black empire with himself at its head, Conan is thwarted by a succession of natural catastrophes and the intrigues of his enemies among the Bamulas, many of whom resent the rise to power in their tribe of a foreigner. Forced to flee, he heads north through the equatorial jungle and across the grassy veldt toward the semicivilized kingdom of Kush. |
