If you loved how Conan’s entire arc in The Hour of the Dragon snaps into focus around reclaiming Aquilonia—tracking down the Heart of Ahriman, outmaneuvering usurpers, and charging headlong through ambushes—then Legend will hit the same nerve. Here, the goal is crystal clear: hold Dros Delnoch against impossible odds. Like Conan carving a path from Nemedia to Stygia and back, Druss and the defenders answer every setback with ferocious, kinetic action, turning each stand into a pulse-quickening set piece.

Enjoyed the knife’s-edge scheming around Aquilonia’s throne—the cabals backing Valerius, the resurrection of Xaltotun to tilt the balance, and the treacheries in Tarantia? The Curse of Chalion dives deep into that same labyrinth of power. Where Conan has to outfox conspirators while hunting the Heart of Ahriman, Cazaril navigates a web of betrayals, church-state pressures, and assassination attempts to safeguard a royal heir, turning every audience chamber into a battlefield.

If the broad sweep of Conan’s travels—from Aquilonia through Nemedia and down to Stygia’s tombs—pulled you in, along with the final push to break Xaltotun’s sorcery and retake the crown, Tigana offers a similarly expansive odyssey. A scattered band fights to restore a nation erased by a tyrant’s magic, crossing contested territories, slipping through courts and camps, and staging daring strikes that echo Conan’s relentless march back to his throne.

Loved how The Hour of the Dragon never lets up—Conan dueling through ambushes, escaping dungeons, rallying Poitain’s riders, and turning the Heart of Ahriman at the last heartbeat to fell Xaltotun? Nine Princes in Amber runs at that same speed. Corwin wakes, schemes, and sprints across worlds, with reversals as sharp as the betrayals that dog Conan from Nemedia to Tarantia, giving you that same breathless, page-flipping rush.

If Xaltotun’s resurrection and the Heart of Ahriman’s baleful pull hooked you—the tombs of Stygia, the witch Zelata’s uncanny aid, and the way dark arts warp every contest—then Elric of Melniboné is your next stop. Elric wields Stormbringer, a demon blade that drinks souls, and bargains with chaos-lords whose pacts carry the same ruinous weight as the necromancy Conan must outfight. It’s sword-swinging heroics steeped in perilous, corrupting magic.
