Publisher's summary

The Breaking of the Chain is a historical adventure story by Robert E. Howard, best known for his creation of Conan the Barbarian and other iconic characters of pulp fiction. In this short tale, Howard delves into a more grounded, historical setting, evoking themes of rebellion, freedom, and the relentless struggle against oppression.

The story is set during an unspecified time of turmoil, featuring a protagonist who rises against the chains of tyranny. True to Howard's signature style, the narrative is rich with vivid descriptions of battle, grit, and human resilience. The hero's journey is one of inner and outer conflict, as he fights both physical enemies and the weight of oppression. The language is forceful, evoking a sense of urgency and tension throughout the narrative.

As with many of Howard's works, The Breaking of the Chain highlights his fascination with history and the human spirit's enduring will to fight for liberty. The tale reflects his belief in individual strength and defiance against overwhelming odds, making it a compelling read for fans of action, historical fiction, and tales of personal heroism.
