Howard is a fantasy novella written during the early 20th century, specifically in the 1930s. This tale follows the themes of double identity, witchcraft, and power struggles set in the mythical land of Khauran. The story delves into the darker elements of magic and human ambition, emphasizing the conflict between the twins Taramis and Salome—one a rightful queen and the other a vengeful witch. The narrative unfolds as Taramis, the queen of Khauran, discovers her twin sister Salome—a presumed deceased witch—has returned with a malevolent intent to usurp her throne. Salome, adorned with a blood-red crescent mark, embodies dark sorcery and manipulates others, including the mercenary leader Constantius, to carry out her devious plans. As the tale progresses, betrayal and chaos erupt, leading to a violent confrontation between the warring factions. Ultimately, with the help of his allies and the exiled Conan, Taramis fights to reclaim her identity and restore order, while Salome faces the consequences of her dark magic and ambition. The themes of loyalty, identity, and the supernatural intertwine, crafting a thrilling tale of good versus evil.
