"Red Nails" by Robert E. Howard is a fantasy adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story prominently features Conan the Cimmerian, a barbarian hero known for his strength and valor. As an exciting tale of conflict and exploration, it follows Conan and Valeria, a fierce woman pirate, as they navigate a strange city inhabited by a bizarre race, facing fantastical creatures and deadly foes along the way. At the start of the tale, Valeria finds herself deep in an ominous forest after escaping a deadly situation involving a Stygian officer. She soon encounters Conan, who has followed her to help defend against imminent danger. The two are soon plunged into peril by a monstrous creature that threatens their lives. As they attempt to escape, they discover a walled city, which serves as a backdrop to their struggles.
