Conan the Renegade

 is a Conan novel by Leonard P. Carpenter.

Synopsis
The action takes place in Koth and the small neighboring realm of Khoraja. Conan joins Captain Hundulph's Free Company of mercenaries in the city of Tantusium, who is in the service of Prince Ivor in the latter's revolt against King Strabonus of Koth. Ivor is also aided by the amazon band of the warrior woman Drusandra and the sorcerer Agohoth. Conan proves an effective leader early on, and later, when taken captive, must face down a horror in a dungeon before the revolt builds to its climax.

This title finds Conan serving as a mercenary in the employ of a prince seeking to overthrow a king. Betrayed by the cowardly prince whom the king soon intimidates into submission the mercenaries must flee to the border followed by the kings army and a hired wizard. Straight up swords and sorcery - my favorite Conan book.
