Descubre la más fascinante aventura del héroe bárbaro por excelencia. Mientras viaja como pasajero a bordo del Argus, bajel comerciante de Messantia, Conan sufre el ataque de la Tigresa, el barco de la pirata Bêlit. Durante la confrontación, el cimerio está dispuesto a vender cara su vida, pero cuando más desesperada parece la situación, Bêlit se encapricha del bárbaro y lo convierte en su amante. Así arranca "La Reina de la Costa Negra", de Robert E. Howard. Usando ese relato como punto de partida, Rodolfo Martínez reconstruye los tres años que Conan y Bêlit pasaron juntos, tres años de aventuras trepidantes, sangre y matanzas, de venganzas y profecías cumplidas, de enemigos ocultos en las sombras y aliados imprevistos, de astutos ardides y planes traicioneros, pero también de amor y confidencias, de dolor, pérdida y añoranza. Martínez sigue la historia hasta su conclusión natural, donde de nuevo enlaza con el relato original de Howard, creando así una aventura fascinante, un canto de amor por la novela de aventuras y la narrativa popular. De la Costa Negra a Estigia, del oculto archipiélago de Nakanda Wazuri al lejano Turán, de Messantia al venenoso río Zarjiba en el que la historia llegará a su final; en La Canción de Bêlit, Martínez recorre con mano experta la Era Hibórea creada por Howard y narra la que quizá sea la aventura más fascinante de Conan.
