Publisher's Synopsis
Conan the Barbarian's desires for the fair sex end up leading him into trouble. This time the beautiful, golden-haired, noble-born Octavia, lures him into a trap set by his most powerful enemies--a trap from which there seems to be no escape. But on the long-deserted island of Xapur, where he goes to capture this crafty beauty, it is not just mortal enemies that await him.
A demon that crawled up from the abyss many eons ago, and is of a substance as hard as iron, has been awakened and is intent on crushing Conan and his woman. Conan is up against a foe much stronger than he is, and one he cannot kill with normal weapons. Will he finally be crushed beneath the iron fists of this devil? And will Conan finally meet his match in this fierce but scantily clad woman or will she finally yield to him?
