Book Description
Confronted by the apparition of slain writer James Allison, The Heroes of Man demanded answers concerning the black stone symbol. Allison stated the sigil meant they were all hunted. At the Wanderer’s Club in 1936, a terrible Black Stone Beast appeared from beyond, spurring El Borak, Conrad, and Kirowan, into decisive action. Outmaneuvered by the Beast’s terrifying speed and crushing strength, all looked grim, until the cosmic arrival of Brissa, whose Pict-blade spear drove the Beast away. Nary a moment passed before Allison pulled all the Heroes of Man through time and space, taking them to Conan’s Hyborian Age. Shock led to anger, then a brawl between Conan and Solomon Kane, before El Borak had a nightmarish vision. A memory of his past, now corrupted, invaded by the Black Stone Beast. Though his past-self fought valiantly, the Beast slew El Borak – killing him in the past but also in the Hyborain Age ‘present’. With our Heroes shocked to their core by his grisly demise. Brissa declared they had but two choices: flee or fight. Thus, the six remaining Heroes stepped through the Pict gate, seeking answers in the heart of the jungle.

Book Description
Across time and space, the Heroes of Man discovered the sign of the Black Stone. In 1936 Chicago, Professor Conrad and Kirowan held a clandestine meeting with an old gunslinger named El Borak to trace the symbol’s origins. In the 16th century, Dark Agnes found the sigil in France, as years later Solomon Kane did in deepest Africa. While still back in 1930s Texas, writer James Allison sat down to type potentially his last story… just as evil darkened his doorway. The many echoes, the many sightings come to their crescendo in the Hyborian Age, where Conan of Cimmeria raced into the jungles near Conajohara to unearth the sign’s mystery. There he found a score of corrupted Picts worshipping the symbol and set to bloody work. Yet even as he carved through their number with abandon, a soul-shearing howl heralded the arrival of an apparition in agony: James Allison, appearing to each of the heroes in turn, chaining them together for now and evermore…

Conan of Cimmeria has seen much in years as a reaver and mercenary, yet still some things remain shrouded in dark mystery.

Book Description
Six souls remained to face the eldritch unknown, following James Allison’s tether deeper into untouched wilderness. After days of travel and halting attempts at camaraderie, the Heroes of Men came across a shard of the Black Stone embedded in a shattered tree trunk. John Conrad, entranced by the stone and with his body seemingly acting on impulse, impaled his hand on the shard, stirring corrupted memories of the past now infiltrated by the black stone Beast. The companions moved to rescue him but were too late, forced to watch as Conrad’s body was violently crushed to pulp – both in the past and the present. Refusing to be hunted any longer, Dark Agnes drew the sigil in the dirt with the tip of her sword, summoning the Beast, set to slay it. Beckoned from beyond, the Beast answered the call and battle was formed. Despite Agnes’ valiant efforts, and with Conan struck down attempting to save her, the Sword Woman met her end and torn in two by the Beast’s terrifying teeth as the companions retreated to safety. There, settled in Brissa’s arms and with his lifeblood leaking into the jungle floor, Conan’s wounds proved fatal… Now, only three heroes remain…
