In "The Serpent's Sorrow," narrated by Engle Coulter, the tale unfolds of Kul'sheda, a woman whose eternal love for Thir'yan spans half a million years and countless lifetimes. As she witnesses his repeated deaths, she seizes the chance offered by the Myr'ides to make him immortal like herself, unaware of the dark consequences that immortality brings. This origin story explores the complexities of love turning into obsession, the heavy toll of grief for beings who wield powerful magic, and the haunting price of trying to hold onto what is meant to be fleeting.
