  This volume gathers together three of Howard's longest and most famous Conan stories: 
   
  THE PEOPLE OF THE BLACK CIRCLE 
   
  Amid the towering crags of Vendhya, in the shadowy citadel of the Black Circle, Yasmina of the golden throne seeks vengeance against the Black Seers. Her only ally is also her most formidable enemy—Conan, the outlaw chief. 
   
  THE HOUR OF THE DRAGON 
   
  Toppled from the throne of Aquilonia by the evil machinations of an undead wizard, Conan must find the fabled jewel known as the Heart of Ahriman to reclaim his crown...and save his life. 
   
  A WITCH SHALL BE BORN 
   
  A malevolent witch of evil beauty. An enslaved queen. A kingdom in the iron grip of ruthless mercenaries. And Conan, who plots deadly vengeance against the human wolf who left him in the desert to die.
