Conan the Savage
''Conan the Savage'' is a fantasy novel written by Leonard Carpenter featuring Robert E. Howard's sword and sorcery hero Conan the Barbarian. It was first published in trade paperback by Tor Books in November 1992; a regular paperback edition followed from the same publisher in August 1993, and was reprinted in March 1999.
==Plot synopsis==
The novel follows two parallel storylines. In the first, Conan is consigned to a Brythunian prison mine after accusing a gambling opponent for cheating. Escaping via an underground river, he ends up in a wild region, where he is badly injured in a fight with a bear. He is nursed back to health by Songa, a woman of a local hunting and gathering tribe, with whom he eventually settles. Conan finds her tribe's simplicity rewarding, but his idyllic life is disrupted when Brythunian soldiers, under orders to find the magic gems Songa's tribe use, attack and destroy their village.
The other narrative is the life-story of the sorceress Tamsin, who as a girl looks on in horror as her mother is raped and her family killed by mercenaries in the pay of Brythunia's king Typhas. She seeks vengeance after she and her doll begin manifesting disturbing magical powers; the doll being possessed by Ninga, a minor deity. Tamsin challenges the kingdom's main cult, in time establishing Ninga's in its place, killing King Typhas, and becoming queen of Brythunia herself. As the fate of Songa's tribe attests, her rule proves as corrupt and evil as that of her predecessor.
The two plot threads converge when Conan shows up in Brythunia's capital seeking vengeance. He battles Tamsin, eventually destroying her doll and her power.
