Conan the Cimmerian comes to the kingdom of Keshan following the lure of a fabled, priceless treasure known as the Teeth of Gwahlur -- a treasure that is said to far outshine the hoard of the Turanian kings. Along the way, Conan fights creatures that are neither ape nor man, although kin to both -- shambling horrors spawned in nameless jungles of fear.Jewels of Gwahlur also contains another Conan episode, The Snout in the Dark, in unfinished form. It carries an ambitious and bloody beginning for a tale that held high promise for a strong and eventful conclusion. What does exist is far more readable than some of the other incomplete stories.
