| Summary | "The Shadow Kingdom" by Robert E. Howard is a novella that belongs to the fantasy genre, probably written in the early 20th century. This tale features King Kull, a character associated with the lost civilization of Atlantis, who navigates the complexities of his reign over the kingdom of Valusia while grappling with the threats from serpentine adversaries. The story captures the struggle between ancient magic and the burgeoning civilization set within a richly imagined world. In "The Shadow Kingdom," Kull, an Atlantean warrior who has claimed the throne of Valusia, faces treachery from snake-men disguised as members of his court. As Kull navigates the court's political intrigues, he encounters Brule, a Pictish warrior, who becomes his ally in confronting the sinister serpent priests who seek to manipulate the kingdom from the shadows. The plot thickens as Kull discovers that he has been the target of a deep-rooted conspiracy and that his trusted councilors may be replaced by monstrous impostors. As Kull fights for survival, the story explores themes of identity and loyalty, culminating in a battle where Kull must prove his worth as a king against the malevolent forces threatening his reign.
