"“Shadows in the Moonlight”: after surviving a massacre that claimed his army, Conan stumbles upon the responsible of the act. By killing him he also saves a princess. Together the two flee by boat and arrive on an abandoned island. But as is to be expected, there’s more to it than meets the eye. Again a short story with good writing and superb pacing in this one!" — Feb 13, 2022 02:16PM

“Hey," said Shadow. "Huginn or Muninn, or whoever you are."
The bird turned, head tipped, suspiciously, on one side, and it stared at him with bright eyes.

'Why is that?'
The Imass leaned his head to one side and regarded her.
'Because Adjunct, it is futile.”
