    Summary


    Previously titled: Var Lath Vir Bellanaris

    "The dawn will come," is what the people had sung after Haven. Inquisitor; Herald; First Thaw, She Who Brings the Hope of Spring. For all her titles, none carried the strength to face absolution as "Vhenan."

    He was her prison, as much as he was her salvation... her heart. Ar lasa mala revas. She could only hope their love had endured enough within her for the both of them.

    In which Lavellan brings light to the darkest recesses of the Fade prison--but also regrets of her own. Together, they will reshape the Fade or lose each other in the quest for absolution.

    Summary

    "I forgive you!" She cried. "All you have to do is stop!"

    If he considered it, it was not for long. Soon his shoulders would square, his chin turning up in that way she knew so well. The return of Pride. No matter the instance, it would always come back to this:

    She, reaching out, begging him to choose their love. He, leaning in, only for a fraction of a moment, and then no more.

    "Ir abelas, vhenan... but I cannot." He kept his eyes away, his face and body turned. "Long before we met I... failed my oldest friend. She died for that failure," he explained. "If I leave the Veil in place, I am destroying the world she wanted. And I will have," he stuttered, "she, will have died for nothing."

    Her heart was breaking. Before her and inside her. Her Pride was shattered. So, it would make sense now to turn away. All the same, she would sooner be destroyed at his heel than alone in a world without him.

    There was no honour in it, sure, but it was the truth of the thing.

    She would allow him his final betrayal. She would accept it; forgive it as the price of loving him.

    Her betrayer.

    Summary

    A low growl rumbled deep in Nasus's chest as he surveyed the carnage before them. "Don't look, my Empress," he intoned, though his warning came too late.

    Lux pursed her lips, twirling her staff in a full circle before kneeling beside an eviscerated corpse. The wounds were deep, precise, as if drawn by a blade wielded with terrifying precision. Sighing softly, she surveyed the devastation, the remnants of what had once been a village now reduced to a pile of ruins and bodies.

    "I still don't understand why we are here," Warwick grumbled, his nose twitching as he sniffed the air. "Not our kingdom, not our problem."

    Summary

    When Belle experiences a VR accident while plugged into an old computer system, her brain downloads a jumble of unique data that certain factions believe to be essential to human understanding of the Hollow phenomenon. A client of Victoria Housekeeping and of Von Lycaon desperately wants to carefully decode and copy that jumbled data from Belle's mind. Meanwhile, unknown and sinister third parties want to destroy that data forever, and the easiest and most obvious way to accomplish that is to assassinate Belle.

    Belle's double life as a small-business owner and proxy becomes even more complicated when Von Lycaon moves into Random Play to protect his client's interest in Belle's continued existence. The wolf thiren becomes a live-in butler and bodyguard while Belle's life strains under the stress of business, conspiracies, and assassins. And through it all, she can't help but foster a simmering attraction for the stately and poised wolfman now at her side for almost every waking moment.
