"Turn of the Adder" is a Drukhari short story by J.C. Stearns.

Cover description

The rise of the Ynnari has changed the power dynamics of the dark city of Commorragh. Many Kabals and Wych Cults have turned from their traditional alliances to join Yvraine in her new vision of the aeldari's future. Among them are the Cult of the Jade Labyrinth, who have forsaken their oaths to the Kabal of the Bladed Lotus — an insult that Archon K'Shaic cannot countenance. As his forces assault the treacherous wyches, his youngest son seizes the opportunity to prove himself — but a close encounter with the Ynnari may change his perspective forever.[1]
