Plot
Conan and his comrade, Jamal, are the sole survivors in a cavalry of Turanian soldiers ambushed by Khozgarian tribesmen. Fleeing the massacre, they encounter Shanya Karaz, daughter of a Khozgari chief, whom they seize as a hostage. Their journey brings the three across Bhamlar Pass, which they brave despite Shanya's warnings about the People of the Summit, remnants of a dying race who haunt the high mountains. Lost in the pass, all three are attacked simultaneously. Jamal is killed, while Shanya is captured during the struggle. After escaping a troop of grey-haired apes, Conan pursue the creatures towards an ancient tower in his quest to rescue Shanya.
