    Summary

    He is nothing like either of the images she had conjured in her head. She had painted the Solas of Varric’s Inquisition into a small, spindly figure who was uncannily similar to her cousin’s husband, Abren, who had memorized old ballads and carved little, delicate, wooden halla. Fen’Harel…well, it depends. There was the giant wolf, of course, although how giant seemed to change, depending on what mood she was in when imagining him. And the elf…

    Aradin Mercar, once of clan Lavellan, is barely holding her own sanity together. It is somewhat unreasonable, then, to expect her to be able to hold all of Thedas together as well - especially as Thedas itself continues to turn against her.

    Summary

    “What is it that you do not like about him?” Josephine asks suddenly, and Ellinor looks at her, open-mouthed. Scandalized.

    “What is it—that I don’t like?” she sputters. “It’s Cullen who doesn’t like me! He—he chastises me. He underestimates me. He’s always in a bad mood and—and he just…” She takes a deep breath. Stop it, she thinks; she’s let her emotions get the best of her. A rare loss of control. She smooths her jacket instinctively. “He looks at me and he sees a highborn girl with nothing to offer the Inquisition but a mark on my hand. He judges me entirely by who I was. Not by who I’m trying to be.”

    Summary

    They say that the witches of the Korcari Wilds steal babes from the cradle and leave their mothers to mourn a child still living, but Seluna Tabris has never been one to believe in idle fairytales. She will come to regret this decision.

    Summary

    With Corypheus gone, the Inquisition has begun to turn toward its original purpose: establishing and maintaining some modicum of order in the face of a war spanning the continent. That will be its primary means of protecting (and, sometimes, pacifying) mages. But Cordelia Trevelyan believes that her duty goes beyond that; the mere survival of the mages cannot be the ultimate goal. She wants to begin building for her kin what she herself now has: a life worth living.

    Would that it were as simple as that.

    Summary

    One year after the Mage Freedoms Act passed in the Fereldan Parliament, Astoria Lavellan has been enjoying a peaceful life: she is a successful tattoo artist, she's dating the ex-templar baker across the street, and she's been able to return to Clan Lavellan and keep in touch with her family.

    But nobody expects the unexpected.

    .

    Or, the one where they reunite with Cullen’s family, his hometown, and it doesn't exactly go as planned.
