Conan the Barbarian is trapped in Prince Edward Island and has lost his normal fighting ferociousness. He’s only 15 and although he’s large and powerfully built the Cuthberts who take him as a farm hand still think of him as a lad. The Island in 1873 is just too tame for a Cimmerian, even one who has been somehow restrained in his savagery. Can he get his untamed nature back and return to Hyborian lands? And where do all those creatures come from that keep attacking him?
