Red Nails

A despot king, a dragon and a weird, completely enclosed city. Conan the Barbarian meets his equal in the form of the pirate Valeria. A captain of the Red Brotherhood, she is a true swashbuckler. This pulp classic, from the father of swords and sorcery, is a pulse-pounding tale of a dwindling and trapped civilization. 'Red Nails' is the last of Robert E. Howard’s stories about Conan the Barbarian and a true fan-favorite.
