    Summary

    Convincing the Inquisition of her innocence was hard enough when she was newly marked, let alone a month after fleeing from their custody. Ophelia Trevelyan has no wish for history to remember her as just one more mage to ruin the world, but when her choices are stay and die or run and live, she knows which option to pick. She doesn’t know how she’ll convince the Inquisition to believe her this time, but maybe closing the rifts and making friends with them all is a start.

    Until closing the rifts becomes less about proving her own innocence and more about saving the world one rift at a time. Until becoming friends with them means starting to love them.

    A story in which the Herald flees from the Inquisition, winds up right back with them, and somehow finds happiness throughout all the trials to follow.

    Summary

    Eighteen months ago, Bryn Cousland crawled out of the burning wreckage of her home and into the Blight, without a Grey Warden there to catch her. Now the Blight is over, the Grey Wardens are rebuilding their order in Ferelden, and Bryn wants to be a hero. What better way than to present herself at Vigil's Keep as a recruit?

    And then the Hero of Ferelden conscripts the son of her family's murderer, and Bryn realises that she probably made a mistake.

    (Mostly canon-compliant to Awakening, but with a lot of original content.)

    Summary

    Lady Rose Trevelyan is in over her head.

    Her attendance at the Conclave was only meant to distract her from her failures as a daughter. And then it blew a hole in the world. Marked by an unknown magic, armed with only a few relevant skills, Rose fumbles and fights her way across Thedas with a band of shockingly deadly oddballs dedicated to stopping— well, all of it. As apocalyptic forces conspire to break and remake her, Rose is snared between the tentative devotion of the Inquisition’s stalwart commander and the fierce love of legendary warrior Garrett Hawke, two vastly different men both haunted by hindsight.

    Summary

    The conclave was supposed to bring peace.

    Instead, there is only death, destruction, a hole in the sky and a mark she doesn't understand burning on her palm.

    Lyria Trevelyan has only ever wanted freedom, safety, a quiet life where her magic wasn't seen as a curse. But with the Temple of Sacred Ashes destroyed, that hope seems farther away than ever. As the only survivor, the Chantry condemns her as a heretic and probable murderer, pilgrims believe her Andraste's herald come to save them and the late Divine's fledgling Inquisition looks to her to seal the breach.

    The entire world is counting on her, but Lyria knows she is no hero, not strong or brave.

    Except, maybe, just maybe, she's wrong.
