   Summary

   Talia Cousland had always wanted more from her life. She wanted respect, position, love...but not just from her name or because she was Bryce Cousland's youngest child and only daughter.

   Yet never, in all her life, had she wanted it like this. Her family dead, her home destroyed, a Blight tearing through her lands, and her survival in the form of the Grey Wardens. And the only person she feels she can trust is a certain junior Grey Warden with secrets of his own.

    

   A novelisation fic of Dragon Age: Origins with heavy focus on the Fem!Cousland/Alistair romance.
