One wizard is bad. Two are a disaster...And a deadly disaster,too. For Conan, after refusing to help the evil wizard Ethram-Fal, hasbeen cursed with a spell that is slowly, inexorably squeezing the lifefrom his mighty frame.The only person who can banish thespell--besides Ethram-Fal, of course--is the sorceress Zelandra: araven-haired beauty who practices only white magic...or so she says.Zelandra has offered to lift the spell from the Cimmerian, if only hewill do her one small service: steal the deadly Emerald Lotus from theclutches of Ethram-Fal in his impregnable desert fortress.No good can come of this, Conan thinks to himself. Once sorcery gets mixed up in it, the whole job goes to hell!Unfortunately, he's right.
