Red Nails

Atop a crag above a silent, endless forest, Valeria finds a human skeleton—and, beyond the trees, a walled city where no city should be. Then Conan appears at her back, carrying news of a pursuer he has left for the vultures.

In a savage age, Valeria, a fugitive from a mercenary camp, has ridden deep into unknown country, with danger close behind and no clear road ahead. Conan the Cimmerian has caught her trail, but neither outlaw has reason to trust the other. The strange city rising from the plain offers shelter—or another peril: behind its walls, old rivalries have turned survival into a deadly contest. With the forest’s stillness at their backs and the city’s secrets before them, how far can Valeria and Conan trust their strength—and each other?
