Summary "The Hour of the Dragon" by Robert E. Howard is a fantasy novel written in the early to mid-20th century. The story revolves around the iconic character Conan the Cimmerian, who faces the resurrection of an ancient evil and contends with political intrigue, dark magic, and fierce battles in a richly imagined Hyborian world. As the narrative unfolds, readers are drawn into a tale that is steeped in adventure and the supernatural, filled with betrayal, ambition, and the struggle for power. The opening of "The Hour of the Dragon" sets a dark and tense atmosphere as a group of sorcerers successfully resurrects the ancient magician Xaltotun from his mummified state using the powerful Heart of Ahriman. The sorcerers’ intentions are shrouded in mystery as they conspire to restore him to life to secure their ambitions of power. As Xaltotun awakens, bewildered from centuries of death, he learns of a changed world and the political dynamics of the kingdoms that have emerged after his time. The potential for chaos becomes apparent as various factions vie for control, and Conan's presence looms over the unfolding events, hinting at the fierce confrontations and thrilling escapades to come.
