Summary
All Freya Lavellan wanted was to study the Temple of Sacred Ashes in quiet solitude, but after a run in with the Templars, she wakes up in a strange cell with a powerful glowing mark spreading up her arm. Everyone believes she caused the blast at the Conclave that killed the Divine. She's just an ordinary researcher from Kirkwall; specialising in Ancient Elvhen history and culture. Why would she commit such horrific acts? She's not close to powerful enough to rupture a hole of that magnitude in the Veil. Now with the entire Chantry against her she has no choice but to help mend the Breach.
So Freya reluctantly sets off with a small party to save Thedas from being overwhelmed by Demons. Navigating complex Chantry politics, a world that wants to turn her into a religious symbol and schemes by an unknown adversary, it appears as if she's slowly losing her sanity. The fade expert Solas seems determined to infuriate her at every turn. Asking questions about her past which even her closest friend Varric knows little of. But the Dreadwolf is on the hunt. He can smell deception from a mile off. When the truth comes out it threatens to shake the established foundations of Thedas.
