From Robert E. Howard’s fertile imagination sprang some of fiction’s greatest heroes,including Conan the Cimmerian, King Kull, and Solomon Kane. But of all Howard’s characters,none embodied his creator’s brooding temperament more than Bran Mak Morn, the lastking of a doomed race.

In ages past, the Picts ruled all of Europe. But the descendantsof those proud conquerors have sunk into barbarism . . . all save one, Bran Mak Morn,whose bloodline remains unbroken. Threatened by the Celts and the Romans, the Pictishtribes rally under his banner to fight for their very survival, while Bran fightsto restore the glory of his race.

Lavishly illustrated by award-winning artistGary Gianni, this collection gathers together all of Howard’s published stories andpoems featuring Bran Mak Morn–including the eerie masterpiece “Worms of the Earth”and “Kings of the Night,” in which sorcery summons Kull the conqueror from out ofthe depths of time to stand with Bran against the Roman invaders.

Also includedare previously unpublished stories and fragments, reproductions of manuscripts bearingHoward’s handwritten revisions, and much, much more.
