Kara’s Sister (illustrated by Lars Brown)

In the Desire story from Endless Nights, Kara recounts her life and her marriage to her husband, who was the only man she had ever wanted and desired.

Her story begins with her sister, who remains nameless through the entire story, spying on the man who Kara loved. She stares at him over a brick wall and he kisses and possibly makes love to a dark haired woman from the village. Her sister runs to the village to tell Kara what she saw.

Her sister appears again as Kara prepares to visit a witch, who was rumored to provide love potions to those who brought her food. Kara’s sister tried to convince her to not go and forget about her desire.

After Kara is married and her husband is killed, Kara’s sister appears one more time, perhaps comforting her when Kara realizes that all she ever desired is gone.

Kara’s sister appears in “What I’ve Tasted of Desire” from Endless Nights on pages 1, 2, 4, 6, and 20.
