Valeria’s reputation is that of a deadly swordswoman, a notoriety she quickly proves to be accurate. When she runs afoul of an exiled Stygian noble, however, things take a deadly turn, embroiling them both in the schemes of a priest of the serpent god Set.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first new Conan novel in more than a decade, Blood of the Serpent leads directly into one of Robert E. Howards’s most famous sword-and-sorcery adventures, “Red Nails.” As a bonus feature that story, as well, is included in this volume.","brand":"Titan Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46013733634239,"sku":"9781803361987","price":28.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/82722-17b4d29051fbb4f13af5a3da1401b31553d9f087f5c7ce51623dfaff9d9695fb.jpg?v=1786764804","url":"https:\/\/popweasel.co.nz\/products\/conan-blood-of-the-serpent","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
