... the relentless pursuit of a quest against overwhelming odds?

The Broken Sword by Poul Anderson

If you loved Conan's quest-driven adventures, you'll be swept away by The Broken Sword, where Skafloc embarks on a perilous journey filled with battles, betrayals, and epic confrontations. Like Conan, Skafloc is propelled by a singular goal that drives the narrative forward at a breathless pace.

... heroes who walk a fine line between right and wrong?

Elric of Melniboné by Michael Moorcock

If Conan's rough edges and morally gray choices thrilled you, you'll find Elric, the albino sorcerer-king, equally compelling. Elric of Melniboné offers a protagonist whose actions are driven by necessity and inner conflict, making every decision both fascinating and unpredictable.

... a dark, violent, and gritty world where survival is never guaranteed?

The Black Company by Glen Cook

... an epic adventure spanning vast lands and grand battles?

The Worm Ouroboros by E. R. Eddison

... rich, immersive fantasy worlds with unique cultures and history?

The Swords Of Lankhmar by Fritz Leiber
