Howard’s The Road of the Eagles is an unpublished historical adventure that survives in two known drafts. Farnsworth Wright returned the story to Howard for revision on October 4, 1932.

Glenn Lord published an early draft as The Way of the Swords in the Donald M. Grant volume Road of Azrael. A final draft, now held by Cross Plains Public Library, was later found by L. Sprague de Camp, who rewrote it as a Conan story under the title Conan, Man of Destiny; that adaptation was later published as The Road of the Eagles.
