Conan and the Queen of the Black Coast by Robert E. Howard audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

Driven by outlaw blood and a restless need for the horizon, Conan the Cimmerian flees civilization and finds himself on the lawless waters of the Western Sea. There he encounters Belit, the fierce and magnetic pirate queen of the Black Coast, whose raid-scarred crew rules the waves with ruthless daring. Drawn together by shared hunger for freedom and plunder, Conan and Belit forge a partnership as dangerous as it is intoxicating, striking at fat merchant ships and coastal strongholds while rival captains and vengeful nations close in. But the sea is not their only enemy. Rumors of an ancient, haunted treasure lure them toward a jungle-shrouded ruin where something older than any kingdom waits in the dark - and where greed, loyalty, and desire are tested against forces that do not bargain. Part high-adventure and part dark romance, this classic Conan tale surges with savage battles, moonlit passion, and the ever-present question of what price a warrior and a queen must pay for a life lived without chains.

Conan and Shadows in the Moonlight by Robert E. Howard audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

For a genuine Conan tale, full of barbarian craftiness, magic, fierce fighting and his berserker strength, this meets every criteria and is one of the best. Conan was raiding with the Free Companions when they were trapped and slaughtered by the merciless Shah Amurath the great Lord of Akif. Conan is one of the very few who escape by hiding in the mud of the marshes like a beast living on raw snake and muskrat. Luck, which seems to have deserted him, smiles again and allows him the chance for revenge and he eagerly seizes it, destroying his enemy with fierce strokes. Barely escaping his soldiers with the slave girl Olivia, once a princess of Koth, they reach a deserted island that holds many enchantments and strange dangers. Then the pirates arrive and things become even bloodier.

Gods of the North by Robert E. Howard audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

'The Frost-Giant's Daughter' is, arguably the earliest chronological story by Robert E. Howard in terms of Conan's life. The brief tale is set somewhere in frozen Nordheim, geographically situated north of Conan's homeland, Cimmeria. Conan is depicted by Howard as a youthful Cimmerian mercenary traveling among the golden-haired Aesir in a war party.

Shortly before the story begins, a hand-to-hand battle has occurred on an icy plain. Eighty men ('four score') have perished in bloody combat, and Conan alone survives the battlefield where Wulfhere's Aesir 'reavers' fought the Vanir 'wolves' of Bragi, a Vanir chieftain. Thus, the story opens.

Following this fierce battle against the red-haired Vanir, Conan the Cimmerian, lying exhausted on the corpse-strewn battlefield, is visited by a beautiful, condescending and semi-nude woman identifying herself as 'Atali.' Upon her bodice, she wears a transparent veil: a wisp of gossamer that was not spun by human distaff. The mere sight of her strange nakedness kindles Conan's lust and, when she repeatedly taunts him, he madly chases her for miles across the snows with the intent of raping her. The excitement continues but I won't ruin the story for you by saying more. Can Conan deal with this daughter of a frost-giant? And what when her daddy shows up?
