Ovo je priča o mladosti lopova koji je preživeo Slonovu kulu. O srcu gusara koji je bio strah i trepet Crne obale. O ranim jadima osvajača koji je pokorio najveće kraljevstvo svog doba. Kakva je bila njegova mladost... njegovo odrastanje? Koji su ga događaji oblikovali? Kakva je to bila zemlja u kojoj se rodio i kakav je narod na njoj počivao? Jedini odgovori se kriju u ovim zapisima, a ta priča će sada prvi put biti ispričana. Konan je rođen. Neka Krom počne da broji mrtve.

„Postoji još jedna zemlja o kojoj mi je deda pričao. Zemlja koju on nikada nije posetio... zemlja s one strane severnog vetra... zemlja zvana Hiperboreja! To je zemlja večitog leta, gde umesto snega perje pada s neba i gde se prelepi tornjevi od bazalta i kule od mermera nadnose nad umilnim zemljištem bogatim dragim kamenjem i plemenitim metalima. Pričao mi je o narodu koji tamo obitava... o toj najstarijoj ljudskoj rasi... svi su visoki, stasiti, besmrtni... hrane se samo voćem i ne poznaju ni bolest ni propadanje, a život provode u miru i promišljanju. Okruženi su muzikom, zvucima lira i frula, a prelepe devojke – čije kose krase venci od lovora – sviraju i plešu u znak obožavanja večitog sunca. Žive u miru sa svim vrstama ptica i zveri, od jage do grifona, a s brda teku med i mleko u potocima. A kad se zamore od svog beskrajnog života, ispunjenog spokojem i lepotom, oni skaču s najviših litica... skaču u zagrljaj vetrova koji okružuju njihovu zemlju kako bi se sjedinili sa svojim bogovima. Ne marim mnogo za muziku i promišljanje, ali takva čudesa... takve čarolije... to želim da vidim svojim očima.”
