    Summary

    Amara Savani is the disgraced eldest daughter of a Tevinter magister who has spent the past fifteen years in the Necropolis after an incident in Minrathous made her a political liability. She's carved out a life in exile - throwing herself into her research, she's come to enjoy her time in Nevarra, even with the ever-present shadow of her family never far from her mind. When her younger half-sister Ursa finds a love match in the youngest son of a prominent Altus family, Amara's unmarried status is the only remaining barrier to their engagement in the eyes of the prospective groom's traditionalist family. Unwilling to submit to a life with the political candidates her father has procured, she strikes a deal with Emmrich - come to Tevinter to marry her, and receive her dowry as funding for his research.

    Unable to see his friend trapped in a loveless marriage, he agrees - and the two of them embark on a journey to Tevinter, determined to keep up the ruse long enough to make it back to Nevarra... but Minrathous has other ideas.
