Synopsis "the conan chronicles"

Three classic Conan novels from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Wheel of Time Before Robert Jordan conquered the bestseller lists with the Wheel of Time, he revived the legendary fantasy hero Conan the Cimmerian. These widely acclaimed adventures introduced the world-famous barbarian to a whole new generation of enthusiastic readers. Here are three powerful sagas, featuring all the storytelling magic and epic splendor that have made Robert Jordan one of the most beloved fantasy authors in history. Conan the Invincible: Less than nineteen years old and new to the snares and enticements of civilization, the young Conan must join forces with a dangerously seductive female bandit to storm the palace of Amanar, a supremely evil necromancer, and confront the dreaded Eater of Souls. Conan the Defender: As revolution brews in the shadowy streets of Belverus, Conan braves the traps and treacheries of the Royal Palace of the Dragon. Pursued by the luscious and shameless Sularia, the mighty warrior challenges a magic-spawned menace that cannot die: the invincible Simulacrum of Albanus. Conan the Unconquered: Conan defies the sorcerous power of the Cult of Doom for the sake of a beautiful young woman known only as Yasbet. From the glory of fabled Aghrapur to the demon-haunted wastes of the Blasted Lands, Conan proves himself the greatest hero of a bygone era of high adventure.

Robert Jordan, pseudonym of James Oliver Rigney Jr., was a prominent American writer born in Charleston, South Carolina, on October 17, 1948. He is mainly recognized for his epic fantasy series "The Wheel of Time", which began with "The Eye of the World" in 1990. Before turning to writing, Jordan graduated in physics from The Citadel, a military college in South Carolina, and served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War.

In addition to "The Wheel of Time", Jordan wrote several novels about "Conan the Barbarian" in the 1980s, contributing to the heroic fantasy genre. After his death in 2007, author Brandon Sanderson completed the last volumes of "The Wheel of Time" based on notes left by Jordan. The series has been translated into multiple languages and has established Jordan as one of the most influential authors in contemporary fantasy literature.
