Summary

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
Kull of Atlantis was a slave, a gladiator and an outlaw before he took the throne of Valusia by the sword. Now he sits in a palace built by a civilisation older than his own, surrounded by courtiers whose language he barely trusts and whose faces, he is beginning to suspect, are not faces at all. 
 
A Pictish ambassador brings him a warning from an unlikely ally: there are things living beneath the city, survivors of an elder race, who can wear a man’s likeness perfectly. They have already walked among the priests and the counsellors. Some of them may have been the king’s own friends. And the only way Kull can tell friend from enemy is with the blade in his hand. 
 
First published in Weird Tales in 1929, The Shadow Kingdom introduced King Kull and is widely regarded as the story that founded the sword and sorcery genre. It remains Robert E. Howard’s most influential tale, a brooding blend of heroic fantasy, cosmic dread and serpentine conspiracy from the creator of Conan the Barbarian.
