Publisher's Synopsis
Queen Taramis of Khauran awakens one day to find an identical twin sister, Salome, staring her in the face. As an infant, Salome was deemed a witch due to a crescent birthmark on her chest. This Birthmark was believed to be a sign of evil, so she was left in the desert to die. However, a magician from Khitai found her, brought her up, and instructed her in the arts of sorcery.
