Book detail: Kull: Exile of Atlantis is presented as a focused source page for quotations connected with this book, collection, transcript, or source record.
This story follows the young Kull as he departs from his homeland of Atlantis following exile, embarking on adventures that will eventually lead him to become a king. The narrative draws upon the myth and legend of the sunken continent, placing Kull in a prehistoric fantasy setting where he must navigate political intrigue, sword fights, and the mysteries of a lost civilization. Like other Kull tales by Howard, the work exemplifies the sword-and-sorcery genre that would later influence generations of fantasy writers. The character of Kull predates and shares many similarities with Conan the Barbarian, though Kull's stories are set in a different fictional timeline involving the vanished kingdom of Atlantis.
