Summary
And at the end of the day, a marriage is a contract. Lucanis knows contracts, and knows them well. How is this any different from a regular job?
After all, there's nothing in the contract that states he must fall in love with the bride from House de Riva.
After decades of bloody warfare, House Dellamorte and House de Riva at last reach a ceasefire with a different kind of contract: a marriage between the two scions of their Houses. Caterina Dellamorte's eldest grandson and the only recognized sister of Viago de Riva find themselves wed as much to duty as to each other, reaching a tentative truce that feels like it may never fully become trust.
For everyone knows that in the House of Crows, murder is a family affair.

Summary
In the aftermath of the Chantry's destruction and the Circle's breaking, Kirkwall's once-Champion flees the city with a near catatonic Anders in tow. Something has been badly wrong with Anders and Justice for a while, and now Hawke has no choice but to reckon with it.
Thanks to unexpected help from Bethany and another old friend, Hawke and Anders find a new direction: the Avvar, who deliberately pair mages and spirits together and have a very different, deeper understanding of the challenges Anders and Justice are facing. With their relationship in turmoil, Hawke and Anders set out for the Stone-Bear Hold, seeking answers, stability, and a safe place for everything between them to come to light.

Summary
“You’re in demand.” Ameridan seemed to be watching him closely, with great interest. “A young gothi from the north. Why is that?”
“Perhaps you might know. I have caught your interest, also.”
Ameridan waved a hand. “I am interested in everyone. An observer of the human condition.”
“Enough to wait outside for them and ply them with wine?”
His smile widened. “That’s only in special cases."
---
The story of how Ameridan met Kordillius Drakon. How an elven mage from the Dales became the lover of the first Emperor of Orlais, and how it all fell apart. A story that spans the foundation of the Chantry, the start of the Second Blight, the Inquisition, the Nevarran Accord, and beyond.
Or: Come for the gay romance! Stay for the deep dive into obscure Thedas history!

Summary
The Blight has ended, and now Alistair sits on the Fereldan throne, in a sham of a marriage with his half-brother's widow—none of it by his own choice. But that's okay. He's too busy to dwell, what with all this very important, kingly paperwork he has to do.
That's when he senses it—the familiar tug of another tainted being in Denerim.
And the last person he ever wants to see again.
Still, he doesn't have time to care about all that, or the ensuing parade of old travel companions dropping in on flimsy pretenses to check up on how he’s doing (and make sure he’s not sitting on the throne in his underlinens, eating his feelings and a whole wheel of cheese). He's got important work to do.
Like figuring out how to avoid this awkward question of producing an heir…

Summary
When her childhood friend fails to appear at her thesis defense, Vanthi and Lucanis return to the Lighthouse to find what's become of her.
“We’ll find her,” he murmurs. Vanthi swallows. Nods.
“Of course. It’s so easy to lose time here— she’s probably upstairs, in a sea of research notes. Happened to us all the time as apprentices.”
But Rosamund isn’t upstairs.

Summary
In the years since Corypheus' defeat, Inquisitor Dascha Cadash has become used to many things. Her empty bed, with her lover Thom away with the Gray Wardens. Her duty dictated to her by her advisors, unable to trust her judgment. Even the Nightmares that plague her each night in defiance of her status as a dwarf, and the accompanying pain as the Anchor grows increasingly unstable.
When she is sent to the Deep Roads to investigate suspicious earthquakes on behalf of Orzammar, Dascha expected to find little more than close-minded dwarves and some old rocks. Instead, she finds a friend in Shaper Valta and a mystery more ancient than known dwarven history. A story exploring The Descent with a dwarf who dreams, and takes that aftermath with her to the Exalted Council.

Summary
Thea looked up the stream where the clan’s camp flickered with firelight, like the Plains’ own distant star. She squeezed Tal’s hand, perhaps unconsciously, and her soft voice warbled with emotion. “I wear the enemy’s colors. I don’t think they distrust me because of forgotten wisdom.”
---
The Inquisition comes upon a Dalish clan in the Exalted Plains, and the Inquisitor receives a colder welcome than she was expecting. Thea Lavellan is unwittingly torn between two worlds, now finding herself an outsider amongst her own people. In the midst of her melancholy, an Inquisition scout lends a story—and a promise—that helps light Thea's path.
