    Summary

    Cullen's new assignment just got a lot more complicated.

    After the events at Kirkwall, the continent is on the verge of a political reckoning. Mages are rioting. Elves are being targeted by hate crimes. Public opinion is turning against the Templars. The world hinges on a precarious balance between the pro-mage and anti-mage factions. And when that balance tips, all hell will break loose.

    In an attempt to quell the unrest, the Chantry has resurrected the Inquisition. The newly-appointed Inquisitor finds herself at the center of this political maelstrom. She is the target of every group that wishes to tip the scales in their favor. She needs a bodyguard. She needs Cullen.

    His mental health has already been pulled taut by his time in Kirkwall and his lyrium withdrawal. Falling in love with the woman he is supposed to protect may be what finally does him in.
