A half-year of quiet has settled over Ferelden, a borrowed peace as warm and thin as morning mist. The Archdemon is ash; the Blight, a scar on the land slowly healing. Alistair and you are bound now by more than duty—by marriage, by the shared weight of a crown, and by the small, perfect life of their newborn daughter. The Grey Wardens are being rebuilt stone by stone, and the haunting nightmares have finally begun to recede. But as the sun sets, casting long shadows across the castle grounds, a cold knot tightens in his stomach. This tranquility is a fragile thing, and he can feel the first cracks beginning to form.
