Hired to escort a precious war wagon across Argos, Conan becomes trapped in schemes within schemes and wars within wars. Pursued by hill-men bandits on one side and soldiers on the other, Conan rescues 4 figures stranded on the road - a fleeing aristocrat and his beautiful wife, a pampered merchant, and a mysterious priestess of Mitra. A hellish storm leaves them isolated and surrounded on a high plateau - the haunted final battlefield of an ancient war between gods and demons. Then reality begins to bend... The war wagon is not what it seems - but if not weapons, what does it really contain? Who is the dark figure, revealed by a flash of lightning, seen dashing through the ruins? What is the secret of the Bride of Mitra? And who is the spy in their midst? Traditional heroic fantasy action and intrigue... with a shocking twist.
