    Summary

    Elissa Cousland has spent most of her life hiding a secret affliction, undergoing years of brutal tutelage to control her inner demons. But with the Blight looming and her family massacred, her control starts to crumble. Will she embrace who she truly is or destroy herself and everyone around her in the process? Who will be left to pick up the pieces after she breaks...the stubborn Highever knight who loves her, or the gentle Grey Warden who holds her to a higher code?

    This is my personal take on the events of DAO, but with a darker spin on the story (there is fluff too!). Rated mature for a reason (language, violence, and eventual smut), but there is a lot of cheese too, so it is a mixed bag. Multiple POVs to keep it interesting. Read a few chapters and see what you think!
    Still a work in progress, so only posting the early chapters (but I have loads of stuff written for later chapters).
    Feedback is welcome, but I wrote this for fun more than anything! Not beta'd, cause it is long and who has the time for that?
