This is version a of Robert E. Howard's story, The Black Stranger, which has been slightly expanded and revised by L. Sprague de Camp.
A rollicking adventure of pirates, savages, exiled aristocrats, hidden treasure, evil wizards, fiendish demons and, of course, damsels in distress.

One of my favorite Robert E. Howard stories. I am re-reading it now. It is also known as The Black Stranger.
Great cover, and incredibly illustrated, the drawings are what I love about this novel.
Originally published as The Black Stranger
A CLASSIC!
Another rewritten Robert E. Howard story by L. Sprague De Camp. Howard had two versions of this basic story, a Conan one and a Black Vulmea one. I like the Black Vulmea one best. This book also really added some negatives to the story from my point of view.
On the other hand, the interior illustrations by Estaban Maroto are pretty good.
