| Summary | "Jewels of Gwahlur" by Robert E. Howard is a sword and sorcery novella written in the early 20th century. The book follows the legendary character Conan the Barbarian as he embarks on a quest to find the mythical treasure known as the Teeth of Gwahlur, set in the fictional, darkly exotic kingdom of Keshan. Full of adventure, intrigue, and supernatural elements, the story is rooted in Howard's rich universe where barbarism and civilization clash. In the tale, Conan journeys to the secluded kingdom of Keshan, drawn by rumors of a fabled treasure hidden in the ancient, abandoned city of Alkmeenon. Upon his arrival, he becomes embroiled in political machinations involving the duplicitous priest Thutmekri and the corrupting influence of the Zembabwans. Conan navigates treacherous plots, encounters a false oracle, and uncovers the truth behind the valley’s haunting past and the sinister servants of Bît-Yakin, the ancient solitary figure who managed the oracle. As he battles both human foes and supernatural threats, Conan’s journey culminates in a race against time to claim the treasure while securing the safety of the beautiful Muriela, who finds herself ensnared in the web of schemes surrounding the treasure. In a thrilling climax, Conan confronts the arcane horrors tied to the legendary jewels, ultimately leading to a suspenseful conclusion that intertwines victory and loss.
