While raiding an ancient tomb, Conan unwittingly frees Graven, a long-imprisoned wizard who repays him by cursing his fabled armor and scattering its pieces across the world. Stripped of his protection, the barbarian sets out on a bloody quest to reclaim every fragment of his armor and take his revenge. Along the way he allies with the fierce warrior queen A'kanna and carves through hordes of monstrous foes across savannahs, tombs, and jungles in pursuit of the wizard who wronged him.
