Valeria’s reputation is that of a deadly swordswoman, a notoriety she quickly proves to be accurate. When she runs afoul of an exiled Stygian noble, however, things take a deadly turn, embroiling them both in the schemes of a priest of the serpent god Set.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n The first new Conan novel in more than a decade, Blood of the Serpent leads directly into one of Robert E. Howards’s most famous sword-and-sorcery adventures, “Red Nails.” As a bonus feature that story, as well, is included in this volume.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46581798535326,"sku":"HPC-9781803361987","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781803361987.jpg?v=1772680390","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781803361987","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
