**First appearance:** 0018-the-people-of-the-black-circle

## Snapshot

The Devi of Vendhya, a proud queen whose captivity strips her to raw endurance and a will that refuses to break.

## Who they are

Yasmina rules Vendhya with the weight of her Devi-ship pressing on every choice, until black sorcery tears her from her throne and drags her through lives of suffering that are not her own. Even as she endures the whip and the rack in visions that are also memories, she never loses the consciousness of who she is. Her pride is both her torment and her weapon, and her rescue becomes the axis on which Conan's quest turns.
