Shadows in the Moonlight

Shadows in the Moonlight by Robert E. Howard hurls listeners into the savage, torchlit world of Conan, a pulse-pounding fantasy adventure that defined the sword-and-sorcery genre. When the Free Companions are ambushed by the merciless Shah Amurath, Conan survives by sheer instinct—hiding in marsh mud, living off raw game, and nursing a brewing hunger for retribution. Fate drags him into a dangerous alliance with Olivia, a fallen princess from Koth, and together they wash ashore on a seemingly deserted island thick with enchantment, lurking monsters, and the dark promise of bloodshed. Pirates, sorcery, and brutal combat test Conan’s cunning, ferocity, and code of honor as Howard layers visceral action with themes of survival, revenge, and the clash between civilization and barbarism. A classic work from the 1930s pulp tradition, Shadows in the Moonlight showcases Howard’s lean prose, mythic imagination, and the archetype of the lone barbarian who reshapes fate with sword and will. Perfect for fans of classic fantasy, sword-and-sorcery tales, or anyone craving high-octane adventure—listen for a raw, timeless Conan story that crackles with danger and dark wonder.
