"Know, oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities…" — Robert E. Howard Enter the shadowed mists of forgotten time with The Hyborian Age, Robert E. Howard’s sweeping prelude to the legendary tales of Conan the Barbarian. This is not merely a fantasy—it is a meticulously imagined prehistory, laying the foundation for one of the most iconic fictional universes ever created. With the rigor of an ancient chronicle and the fire of a mythmaker, Howard maps the rise and fall of empires, the migrations of tribes, and the birth of civilizations long lost to history. From the cataclysm that sank Atlantis to the grim swordsmen who would one day stride the Hyborian kingdoms, this work is essential reading for every fan of heroic fantasy.
