About this book

A midnight visitor with the queen's own face turns a quiet palace chamber into a struggle for power. Taramis, ruler of Khauran, discovers that her twin sister Salome has survived and returned to claim the throne. Salome tells of a family curse and her upbringing under a magician, while mercenary soldiers wait outside the city. Their confrontation gives these fantasy stories a world of royal rivalries, dangerous magic and personal grievance.

Another scene moves into the enclosed halls of Xuchotl, where rival factions have built their lives around a bitter feud. Strange pipe music breaks a guard's resistance, and an attack brings Conan and Valeria into the fighting. Direct dialogue and abrupt changes of action keep attention on immediate danger. Readers interested in tales of sorcery and armed conflict will find both palace intrigue and a feud that leaves one fighter wondering what will remain when it ends.
