Summary: "The People of the Black Circle" by Robert E. Howard is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the tragic events surrounding the dying king of Vendhya, Bunda Chand, and the desperate attempts of his sister, Yasmina, to save him from what she believes is a sorcerous curse, instigated by dark magic. The narrative intricately weaves themes of betrayal, sorcery, and the pursuit of vengeance, with key characters including the warrior Conan and the scheming nobles of the region. The opening of the story situates readers in a tense moment at the royal palace in Vendhya, where the king is on the brink of death under mysterious circumstances. Yasmina, his sister, fervently believes sorcery is at play rather than poison, desperately seeking answers while confronting the fear of losing her brother. Meanwhile, a band of schemers including Conan introduces a political subplot tied to the capture of tribal leaders and the potential for conflict. The chapter concludes with a rising atmosphere of danger and intrigue—hinting at an impending clash that will intertwine the fates of sorcery, revenge, and forgotten loyalties as Yasmina sets forth on her quest for justice.
