synopsis:
As Conan once again tries to break his slave chains, he is approached by
a man who claims war is coming. The man reveals to Conan the
flying-horse-riding Choosers of the Slain and in general acts mysterious
and godlike. Conan soon comes across Dunlag, a Brythunian, and learns
war is brewing between Hyperborea and Brythunia. Dunlag takes Conan to
his camp and they meet Dunlag's lover, Eevin. Meanwhile, in the woods,
Brythunian commander Malachi secretly meets with the consort of King
Tomar of the Hyperboreans. Malachi agrees to betray Brian, king of
Brythunia. Back in the Brythunian camp, Eevin sees visions of the Grey
God Conan met earlier, but Dunlag is determined to fight. Conan joins
the Brythunians, mostly to get revenge for being enslaved by the
Hyperboareans, and meets Malachi. The two do not get along. The armies
clash the next morning and Conan gets revenge on several Hyperboareans,
especially one particular one who whipped him. However, oddly, Malachi
refuses to bring his cavalry to bear. Conan suspects treachery. Dunlag
is killed, which enrages Conan and he chases and kills Malachi, Brian
and Tomar meet and both slay the other as the Grey God watches. The
Choosers of the Slain fly from the sky and take the honored dead as
Conan realizes he had just encountered the god Borri.
