If you loved how Conan clawed back his crown by hunting the Heart of Ahriman and outwitting Xaltotun, you’ll relish the way Elric of Melniboné wields the soul-drinking blade Stormbringer to survive palace coups and eldritch foes. Like Conan’s ruthless turns in Aquilonia and Stygia, Elric makes uncompromising choices as he fights treachery in Imrryr, duels sorcerers, and gambles with demons to keep hold of a crumbling empire.

The coup that ousts Conan from Aquilonia and the web of plots spanning Nemedia and beyond finds its mirror in Nine Princes in Amber. Corwin wakes, schemes, and marshals allies to unseat his brother Eric, navigating betrayals and shifting loyalties much like Conan does while dodging assassins and conspirators. If the throne-room chess with Amalric and the Nemedian cabal hooked you, Corwin’s razor-edged politicking and audacious bid for the crown will too.

Conan’s singular quest—track down the Heart of Ahriman, break free with Zenobia, and smash Xaltotun—has the same no-quit momentum that powers Legend. Here, veteran axeman Druss anchors the desperate defense of Dros Delnoch, every skirmish and stand feeding the one overriding objective: hold the fortress or the world falls. If you thrilled to Conan’s straight-ahead, do-or-die push through foes and sorcery alike, Druss’s iron-willed stand will hit the same vein.

If the sweep of Conan The Conqueror carried you—from Aquilonia across Hyborian realms to Stygian tombs—The Worm Ouroboros unleashes an even grander march: embassies turned ambushes, sea raids, mountain citadels, and sorcerous duels as Demonland and Witchland vie for dominion. Think Xaltotun’s necromancy scaled up to kings like Gorice and wizardry that bends campaigns, with journeys as far-flung as Conan’s trek for the Heart of Ahriman.

From Conan’s dungeon escape with Zenobia to his tomb-raiding dash in Stygia, Conan The Conqueror races. The Black Company hits that same gear: rapid-fire campaigns, ambushes, and skirmishes as a mercenary unit serves a sorcerous Lady and clashes with the Taken. If Xaltotun’s resurrected menace and sudden reversals kept you flipping pages, Croaker’s battlefield chronicles will, too—all grit, speed, and lethal magic.
