Summary
Once nameless, a broken slave forced to wield blood magic at her master's command, now known as Rook - a name given in freedom, chosen rather than imposed. After the Shadow Dragons helped break her chains, they guided her toward a new life through unexpected connections, none more significant than Varric Tethras, whose stories and patience helped her discover an identity beyond survival.
Rook walks a precarious path between past sins and possible salvation. Her refusal to use blood magic carries weights deeper than simple choice, each clean spell a rebellion against years of forced corruption. When an underground prison called the Ossuary reveals its darkest secret - a ritual binding demons to unwilling hosts - she must face both the consequences of her past and the master who shaped her into a weapon.
