Howard's more popular Conan stories is Queen of the Black Coast, in which Conan meets what most Conan fans believe to be the love of his life, Belit the Shemite pirate.<img src="http://blog.25mm.fr/wordpress/wp-content/gallery/conan/BELIT2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Howard's story starts with the meeting between the two, skips an indeterminate amount of time, and ends at Belit's death (that shouldn't be a shocker spoiler to anyone).  Most Conan scholars believe that Conan spent a few years with Belit, harrowing the coastal region of the Great Western Ocean.If you'd care to read Howard's tale of love and death on the Western Ocean, you can read entire short story here:  <a href="http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks06/0600961h.html" target="_blank">QUEEN OF THE BLACK COAST by Robert E.
