[edit] Synopsis
From Miller and Clark: …in the seacoast kingdom of Argos, where a brush with the law forces him to ship with a coastwise trader, southward bound. Off the coasts of Kush the ship is boarded by black corsairs under the Shemitish she-devil, Belit. Conan joins her crew, becomes her consort, and for a long time they harry the Hyborian and Stygian ports. During this stage of his career, Conan gains the name of Amra, the Lion, which is to follow him throughout his later life, especially among the blacks. He becomes quite familiar with some of the more southerly Kushite kingdoms through raids for slaves and on traders. When, at length, Belit is killed by the survivors of an ancient race of winged men, Conan is left afoot somewhere on the southern coasts of Kush. Belit has been the first great love of his life…
