Synopsis "The Devil in Iron"

In this pulse-pounding tale of sorcery and swordplay, Robert E. Howard's legendary barbarian hero Conan faces a deadly combination of betrayal, ancient magic, and monstrous power. In The Devil in Iron, Conan finds himself lured into a trap on the remote island of Xapur, where a long-dead demon god-revived by greed and dark rites-rises again to reclaim dominion over life and death. As Conan battles both mortal foes and the resurrected iron-skinned beast, the story surges with Howard's signature energy, visceral action, and mythic scale. With a landscape of forgotten temples, cursed relics, and political intrigue, the tale blends horror, fantasy, and heroic defiance into an unforgettable pulp classic. For fans of sword-and-sorcery epics, this is Conan at his most relentless and Robert E. Howard at his most electrifying-grim, raw, and thrilling.

Robert Ervin Howard (Peaster, Texas, 1906 – Cross Plains, Texas, 1936) was an American writer whose influence on fantasy literature is profound and lasting. From a young age, he showed a great passion for history and reading, which led him to start writing stories at fifteen and to sell his first text at eighteen. He is widely recognized as one of the creators of the sword and sorcery subgenre, especially for his iconic character Conan the Barbarian, who debuted in 1932 and became a cultural symbol. Additionally, he created other memorable characters like Kull of Atlantis and Solomon Kane, who also transcended literature to reach cinema and comics. His life was marked by his mother's illness and family instability, which influenced his reserved nature and his work. He maintained a close friendship with H. P. Lovecraft, with whom he shared ideas about civilization and barbarism. Despite his success in Weird Tales magazine and his prolific output of over three hundred stories, he faced economic and personal difficulties, culminating in his suicide at thirty, following his mother's death.
