Summary
In the core of her self she comes to a vast chasm of purpose, dark and devoid, and recognizes it as that which she felt closing on the tailwind of Mythal's flight.
Her spirit teeters the edge over that smallest sliver of what remains, feeling no fear for the plummet—only a lust and wonder for that which is undiscovered, unmapped, unknown.
--
An exploration of Ghilan'nain's descent from "the most sensitive of us" to what she eventually becomes, spanning the earliest days of her birth to her escape from the Black City. -

Summary
Thea looked up the stream where the clan’s camp flickered with firelight, like the Plains’ own distant star. She squeezed Tal’s hand, perhaps unconsciously, and her soft voice warbled with emotion. “I wear the enemy’s colors. I don’t think they distrust me because of forgotten wisdom.”
---
The Inquisition comes upon a Dalish clan in the Exalted Plains, and the Inquisitor receives a colder welcome than she was expecting. Thea Lavellan is unwittingly torn between two worlds, now finding herself an outsider amongst her own people. In the midst of her melancholy, an Inquisition scout lends a story—and a promise—that helps light Thea's path.

Summary
In the years since Corypheus' defeat, Inquisitor Dascha Cadash has become used to many things. Her empty bed, with her lover Thom away with the Gray Wardens. Her duty dictated to her by her advisors, unable to trust her judgment. Even the Nightmares that plague her each night in defiance of her status as a dwarf, and the accompanying pain as the Anchor grows increasingly unstable.
When she is sent to the Deep Roads to investigate suspicious earthquakes on behalf of Orzammar, Dascha expected to find little more than close-minded dwarves and some old rocks. Instead, she finds a friend in Shaper Valta and a mystery more ancient than known dwarven history. A story exploring The Descent with a dwarf who dreams, and takes that aftermath with her to the Exalted Council.

Summary
“We will save our friend from himself, if we can.”
Inquisitor Morinne Lavellan must steel herself to confront the man who left her, took her arm, and threatens to end the world they know. Those that still believe in her are convinced she’s the only one who might be able to convince him to stop - but what if the Inquisitor’s allegiances aren’t quite as strong as they used to be?
Eager to restore his People, Solas leads an army of elves that grows stronger every day. But when it comes time to directly confront those he once called friends, some of his agents begin to question if he truly has the stomach to see this grim duty through to the end.
Then an unlikely Grey Warden enters the game after witnessing Solas’ machinations firsthand, drawing the attention of Viscount Tethras. It earns Rook the job of a lifetime: put down the Dread Wolf once and for all… no matter who gets in her way.
Eventually they must learn that sometimes, terrible choices are all that remain.
