About the Book I Conan: The Riddle of Steel is the second installment of the I Conan Series. Building upon the vast body of existing work that originated with Robert Howard, this work shows our hero Conan coming of age in an ancient and hostile world. Although well trained, he has yet to martial his full mental or physical powers. To learn the systems of his enemies, Conan infiltrates and is promoted in the Aqualonian Border Guard where he pits his strength and training against hereditary enemies, the Picts. During his journey Conan deals with problems we all face today: duty, family, friendship, deceit, betrayal, success, and loss. Such is the human condition for all, and with death and danger as his constant companions, Conan enters into an unknown world where only his physical prowess and keen mind will give him a chance of survival. Written as a rip-roaring, entertaining adventure in the mytho-poetic tradition, I Conan is wrapped in an exciting, fast-paced adventure guaranteed to thrill the reader and keep the pages turning. About the Author L. J. LaRoch lives with his family in the Midwest. He travels as much as possible when he’s not working. He speculates in real estate, has a huge interest in the outdoors, and tries to stay in shape.

Capturing the electric short fiction energy that led Robert E. Howard to be one of the top fantasy writers of the century, with exclusive serialized eBook stories starring Conan, Solomon Kane, and more by many of today’s top writers in fantasy and sword-and-sorcery. In a port city in Zingara, Conan of Cimmeria drinks away the last of his meager purse. He’s considering robbing one of the city’s noble houses when he’s approached by a man named Flavio, first mate on a ship called Fortune’s Dawn. The Dawn is seeking mercenaries to transport valuable cargo to Aquilonia, the very heart of civilization. Conan is suspicious, but also deeply curious and in sore need of the coin, so he takes the job. His suspicions only deepen as he meets the reticent, sparse crew of the ship. However, Conan only realizes the severity of danger he’s walked into when a terrible scream reveals a crew member dead and mutilated on the deck. Armed with only his wits and his sword, Conan must figure out the mysteries of Fortune’s Dawn before the same fate befalls him.
