A Witch Shall Be Born

In a moon‑lit palace of the desert realm of Khauran, Queen Taramis awakens to an unsettling silence that feels more like the hush of a burial chamber than a royal sleep. A sudden, eerie glow reveals a perfect mirror of herself—a woman with black hair and crimson eyes—who speaks with a honeyed, venomous tone. The apparition identifies herself as Salome, a witch whose presence turns the queen’s sanctuary into a stage for dread and deception.

As Salome’s cruel taunts echo through the vaulted chambers, she claims control over the palace guards and threatens to let the palace burn while the queen’s attendants slumber. Taramis, forced to confront a dark double of her own visage, must navigate a maze of sorcery, betrayal, and the looming threat to her throne. The tale follows her desperate fight to uncover the witch’s true purpose and to reclaim the power that has been stolen from her.
