    Summary

    “To live in this world you must be able to do three things: To love what is mortal; To hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, To let it go.” (Mary Oliver)

    Tavi grew up on a small, rural farm in the Tevinter Imperium. He and his family laboured for their daily bread; spent holy days at the local temple; and enjoyed the fruits of the seasons, living humbly but happily in their slice of paradise.

    Then, a magister came through their little village. In his wake, he wrought upon Tavi's world a wave of misery worse than any blight.

    Fifteen years pass. Octavian has clawed his way from the hellish imprisonment that had been thrust upon him, far colder a man than he had been when he first saw the walls of a cell. Imbued with vengeful purpose, he plans to seek justice for the wrongs committed against him: and if justice cannot satisfy him, he will settle for blood.

    (Covers Tevinter Nights, Veilguard, and an epilogue.)

    Summary

    Rook didn’t walk like the fine ladies of Antiva City. No, she walked like a woman who knew herself, her strength, and her power. If he had been assigned her contract, it would have required near-perfect performance to take her down. He told himself he would have completed the contract, though it wouldn’t have been easy. To acknowledge that truth would signal yet another building block of Lucanis Dellamorte crumbling at Rook’s feet.

    Romance was everywhere in Treviso—in its dark alleys, its canopies of fragrant flowers, and its naturally colored buildings.
