Red Nails - By ROBERT E. HOWARD
A fierce, lone warrior ventures into a tangled, roof‑capped forest where the trees form vaulted arches and the air hangs heavy with silence. Alongside her rides Valeria, a striking woman of the Red Brotherhood, dressed in silk breeches and armed with sword and dirk, her presence as out of place as a storm on a calm sea. Their journey through the uncharted wilderness leads them to a crag that climbs above the treetops, promising a glimpse of whatever lies beyond the endless green.
At the summit they discover a hidden citadel, its architecture alien and its inhabitants a strange race that seems as ancient as the stones themselves. Within its walls, whispered rivalries and deadly secrets pulse like the red nails of a forgotten battle. The stage is set for a clash of wills, where brute strength, cunning, and the lure of forbidden treasure will test every ounce of their resolve.
