Conan appropriates a stallion abandoned by one of the Hyrkanian soldiers and 
heads back by land to the steppes of his kozak friends. But he finds the 
kozaki still scattered. <B>Yezdigred,</B> now on the throne of Turan, is already 
proving himself a far more astute and energetic ruler than his late sire. He 
is submerging the fortunes and energies of would-br rivals in a program of 
imperialism, which will eventually make him master of the greatest empire of 
the Hyborian Age.<BR>
<BR>
After some narrow escapes from the far-ranging Turanians, Conan reaches the 
small border kingdom of <B>Khauran,</B> between the eastern tip of Koth and the 
steppes and deserts over which the Turanians are methodically extending their 
control. Soon, Conan wins himself the command of the royal guard of <B>Queen 
Taramis of Khauran.</B>
