Conan the Warlord

Conan the Warlord by Carpenter, Leonard. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780812542684.

In the ancient land of Nemedia, Conan of Cimmeria agrees to impersonate Baron Eihnarsons son and heir in order to escape a foul prison cell--at least until he can escape completely, with a pouch full of gold. Calissa, the Barons sensuous daughter, has other plans for Conan, as does Evadne, the voluptuous rebel maiden. Palace intrigues swirl--poison in the cup and the assassins dagger in the dark--and Conan must lead the army of Diander against the Cult of the Snake, the demon which burns and slays all whom it does not concert to half-serpent slaves of an ancient evil. In mouldering tombs the dead Lords of Einharson stir, and rise to strike down any who would threaten their line.
