Conan and the Amazon

 is a Conan novel by John Maddox Roberts.

Synopsis
Fresh from a failed rebellion in Brythunia, in which he served as a mercenary on the opposing side, Conan joins forces with a tribe of native warriors led by Achilea (former queen of the Amazons). Achilea is guiding a pair of mysterious twins in their search the ancient city of Jangar. The warriors travel across Zamora, Koth, and the Stygian Desert before crossing a range of southeastern mountains.

Conan's allies eventually reach the city, cursed by the gods after an ancient battle. Jangar is still in good condition despite its supposed desertion and was, in fact, never abandoned. The citizens, who loathe the sun, live within a subterranean city beneath the ruins of their old one.

Caught between the evil agenda of his demonic employers and the Jangarians, Conan finds himself trapped in his battle with a giant crocodile as the city approaches its eventual destruction.
