Includes an introduction titled THE CREATION OF RED SONJA by Roy Thomas,cover art by Boris Vallejo.
FROM THE BACK COVER: She lived in a savage world in an uncivilized age - a world ruled by men and governed by the sword. They called her Red Sonja - for her flame-red hair, for her smouldering fire of her pride which gave her sword-arm a strength that few men could match and none had ever defeated.
In the very lands where Conan the Cimmerian wielded his powerful blade, this beautiful and deadly warrior-maid tranversed the Hyborian kingdoms with her sword for hire. Lured by the promise of riches and adventure, RED SONJA is drawn into a war between the city of doomed mortals and the awesome ambitions of a centuries-dead sorcerer in a quest for the primal, untamable power forged into a ring of gold...THE RING OF IKRIBU!
