Beginning a stunning two-parter drawn by Tim Truman. The Prince and his mysterious Wazir, featured in Conan #0 and the series' framing sequences, share center stage with Conan in a two-tiered story. Having added new lands to his father's empire, the Prince must deal with diplomacy, border wars, and a local champion. The Wazir offers guidance with a legend of when Conan was a hill-chief of the Afghulis, high in the Himeliam mountains. Conan is building the seeds of a kingdom can he betray a brave man to gain power? And if he can, should the Prince do the same? Imperial skullduggery, high-mountain action, and devious schemes take the spotlight in this gorgeously drawn tale.
