    Summary

    When you clip a bird's wings, you're forcing it into compliance. Not all birds come quietly.

    She wasn't always Juno De Riva, she had a different name altogether when she was still with her mother and father. Things change, and sometimes people don't come back when you expect them to. What else can a caged bird do, but sing?

    Joining the flock would not be a simple task, but it's what she needed to do to survive. If the Fifth Talon found no use for Juno, she had no doubt he would cast her out onto the street, or worse.

    When Matteo De Riva suggests Juno aim higher, to try to marry the heir apparent to the First Talon house, would she be able to use her skills to catch his eye?

    Or would she remain a caged bird forever?

    Summary

    Renata “Rook” de Riva arrives in small town Tuscany to try and reconnect with the place her long dead mother spent most of her life. The town is small and ancient, but far from quiet and the worldly but cloistered Rook finds herself drawn to a mysterious man who’s staying in the villa near the city center.
    A year spent as a prisoner of the Cosa Nostra has left mafia hitman Lucanis Dellamorte with deep psychological (and physical) scars. He arrives in the little town of Montepulciano at his grandmother’s behest in hopes of healing his body and mind. While he intends to spend his respite in solitude, he soon finds himself falling into Rook’s orbit. In her, Lucanis begins to see a way forward. The chance for a peaceful life. But his past won’t let him go and soon it aims its crosshairs at Rook.

    Summary

    In the shadowy streets and rooftops of Treviso, Rook—born Ellana, daughter of the Hero of Ferelden and Zevran Arainai—has risen swiftly through the ranks of the Antivan Crows, but her life is about to change. When renowned storyteller Varric Tethras and Inquisition scout Lace Harding track her down, Rook is pulled into a mission of dire importance: stopping Solas, the Dread Wolf, from tearing down the Veil and unmaking the world.

    Faced with the legacy of her legendary parents, Rook must decide whether she’s ready to betray the Crows and join a cause larger than any contract she’s ever taken.

    --------

    A novelisation of the game, with plenty of tension, angst, and the love story we all needed. Expect soft Lucanis, a bloodthirsty MC, big brother Viago, and plenty of Crow drama.

    Summary

    "Lucanis Dellamorte,” he said with a casual air about him. Like he wasn’t the man who had fucked her senseless on the docks nearly a year ago. His eyes lingered on her for a fraction of a second, just long enough to twist her stomach into knots. But then, his gaze shifted to Neve with a charmingly cool effect.

    For a moment, Rook wondered if he truly didn’t recognize her. There wasn’t even a flicker of familiarity in his face, only that guarded and smooth allure that made her bite her lip. She tried to shake off the pang of disappointment, forcing herself to focus on the mission, but damn, it stung. He doesn’t remember. And it’s better that way, she told herself, trying to smother the rush of excitement she had felt upon seeing him.

    Sequel to my one-shot Mierda
