The hunt for the Heart of the Serpent continues as Kull of Atlantis, now King of Valusia, journeys ever deeper into mysteries that reach beyond the boundaries of the known world. Inspired by the classic sword-and-sorcery creations of Robert E. Howard, The Atlantean presents a sweeping saga of adventure, magic, and destiny in the age before Atlantis sank beneath the sea.
In the feature-length story "Reflections," Kull and his companion Brule encounter a seemingly ordinary caravan on the road to the Black Mountains. What begins as a confrontation with ruthless bandits soon leads to revelations tied to ancient prophecies, forgotten sorcery, and a dangerous quest for the legendary Heart of the Serpent. As Kull seeks answers about his destiny, he is drawn into visions of past and future, confronting truths that challenge everything he knows about himself, his kingdom, and the dark forces gathering beyond the horizon.
Also included is "Demons in the Dark," a thrilling backup tale starring the bounty hunter L'Thal. Sent to collect a reward on a dangerous sorcerer, L'Thal finds herself facing powers far beyond mortal understanding. Skill, courage, and steel may not be enough when ancient darkness answers a wizard's call.

Howard, featuring powerful warriors, deadly magic, epic world-building, and stunning black-and-white artwork.
