"A Witch Shall Be Born"
Conan is Captain of Queen Taramis's guard in Khauran. When Taramis's sorcerous twin sister, Salome takes her place; betraying the kingdom to the mercenary forces of Constantius, Conan is captured, and crucified in the desert. A nomadic Zuagir chieftain, Olgerd Vladislav, cuts him down and allows Conan to join his forces. Over time, Conan rises to be Olgerd's right hand man, but soon vies for control of the Zuagir. Conan sends Olgerd broken and limping into exile, then sends his forces to reclaim Khauran and free Taramis.
