    Summary

    When you clip a bird's wings, you're forcing it into compliance. Not all birds come quietly.

    She wasn't always Juno De Riva, she had a different name altogether when she was still with her mother and father. Things change, and sometimes people don't come back when you expect them to. What else can a caged bird do, but sing?

    Joining the flock would not be a simple task, but it's what she needed to do to survive. If the Fifth Talon found no use for Juno, she had no doubt he would cast her out onto the street, or worse.

    When Matteo De Riva suggests Juno aim higher, to try to marry the heir apparent to the First Talon house, would she be able to use her skills ensure her future?

    Or would she remain a caged bird forever?

    Summary

    Once nameless, a broken slave forced to wield blood magic at her master's command, now known as Rook - a name given in freedom, chosen rather than imposed. After the Shadow Dragons helped break her chains, they guided her toward a new life through unexpected connections, none more significant than Varric Tethras, whose stories and patience helped her discover an identity beyond survival.

    Rook walks a precarious path between past sins and possible salvation. Her refusal to use blood magic carries weights deeper than simple choice, each clean spell a rebellion against years of forced corruption. When an underground prison called the Ossuary reveals its darkest secret - a ritual binding demons to unwilling hosts - she must face both the consequences of her past and the master who shaped her into a weapon.

    Summary

    Two Crows, a ragtag gang of roommates, and their allies walk into the apocalypse and walk out a family.

    Zelena de Riva took the contract to help Varric hunt Solas as a way to return to Viago's good graces after the Antaam debacle. She didn't plan on being in charge of saving the world. She also didn't plan on Lucanis Dellamorte.

    Good thing improvisation had always been her greatest strength - and that the family she left behind in Antiva had no intention of leaving her to save the world alone.
