Capturing the electric short fiction energy that led Robert E. Howard to be one of the top fantasy writers of the century, with exclusive serialized e Book stories starring Conan, Solomon Kane, and more by many of today’s top writers in fantasy and sword-and-sorcery.
Created by the author responsible for Conan of Cimmeria, Solomon Kane is ’a man born out of his time—a strange blending of Puritan and cavalier, with a touch of the ancient philosopher, and more than a touch of the pagan… a knight errant in the somber clothes of the fanatic. A hunger in his soul drove him on and on, an urge to right all wrongs, protect all weaker things, avenge all crimes against right and justice.’—Robert E. Howard, ’The Moon of Skulls’
Caught aboard a ship destroyed in a terrible storm, Solomon Kane is the only survivor left clinging to the wreckage—and to life. Washed up on a stony beach, he is found by a young woman of the Hotu clan, who brings him back to their fortress in Odawara. While recovering, he discovers sigils and marks designed to protect the clan against demons aligned with the Hideyoshi daimyo. Intent on wiping out any who would resist his rule, the daimyo’s creatures have spread horror across the islands. The evils they have perpetrated are ungodly, there may only be one man who can put an end to this terror.
