    Summary

    The Fade tore itself open, as if demanding to bear witness to the death of Ghilan’nain.

    As Lucanis watched, daring not to breathe, Rook struggled to reach the dagger and pull it free from Ghilan’nain’s corpse, every line of her body tensed to brace against the rushing torrent of light and pulse of raw magic. Then, in a blink, as her hand finally grasped the hilt, Rook vanished.

    Three words and his name.

    If Lucanis had known, he would have thought to ask for more.

    ---------

    Six months after the death of Ghilan'nain and the disappearance of Rook into the prison within the Fade, the Veilguard finally finds a possible solution to retrieve their leader: using Lucanis' connection to Spite, send the assassin beyond the Veil, and get Rook out. Beyond that, however, he's on his own.

     

    Contains heavy spoilers for Dragon Age: The Veilguard!

    Summary

    If I have lost an hour this night, it is only to Rook.
    But lost is wrong. It is an hour found.
    An hour more clear than any other.

    — — —

    An anthology of hours in Lucanis and Rook’s relationship unseen in the game, but very much needed.

    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

    For librarian Lottie “Rook” Ingellvar, the pandemic was not the only darkness that swept over her life in 2020. An act of unbelievable betrayal and violence has left her numb as the world begins to thaw and life returns to normal. Struggling with equilibrium, her boss in special collections proposes to relieve her of her usual duties and set her up with a more flexible job - assisting a professor in his research.

    In the distinguished, older Professor Volkarin, Rook finds a stability she’s never known and an easy charm that soon develops into a roiling, back-breaking crush that threatens to upend the careful walls she’s erected around her heart and body.
