Scaling a sheer jade-and-crimson cliff, Conan the Cimmerian climbs toward a lost city and the fabled Teeth of Gwahlur, a treasure of priceless jewels, and the intrigue swirling around it.

Robert E. Howard's 1935 story is a classic Conan adventure of a hidden temple, a false oracle, and deadly rivals. Vivid, fast, gloriously atmospheric sword-and-sorcery. Read it for prime Conan, matching the great barbarian against ancient secrets and grasping schemers for a king's ransom in gems.
