The heart of the desert, the soul of the snake

In this, the second book of the Anok series, J Steven York ups the ante. Anok is not only more powerful, he is more likely to use that power, and with fewer pangs of guilt. He is embracing the evil mark of Set just as it constricts his flesh. His friends reach out to help, but Anok seems more focused on himself, resulting in a more accomplished, more tragic direction for the young acolyte. Classic Conan enemy Thoth-Amon makes a disturbing appearance, one that Anok will not soon forget. This is another excellent glimpse into the world created by Robert E. Howard, and the time when Conan was king.
