About this eBook
Return to the dark fantasy world created for the award-winning, triple platinum game, Dragon AgeTM: Origins in this third tie-in novel.
The destruction of Kirkwall’s Circle of Magi has brought chaos to the lives of the mages and templars throughout Thedas. Some mages teeter on the brink of rebellion against their templar watchers, while others struggle to maintain order and stability amid the tides of change.
In the majestic White Spire, at the heart of templar power in Val Royeaux, tensions have reached the boiling point. The actions of a few radicals draw the attention of the seekers, a powerful and secret segment of the templars, who arrive to take command and restore order no matter the cost. To make matters worse, a mystical killer stalks the White Spire’s halls, invisible to all save one lone mage.
As Rhys is the only one who can see the killer, all eyes turn to him as the prime suspect in the murder investigation. With little hope of proving his innocence, Rhys’s future looks to be short and grim. But his skill with spirit magic earns him a reprieve, as he is drafted into an expedition traveling deep into the western wastelands of Orlais. There, his fate will become entwined with that of a beautiful templar, a tormented soul, and Wynne—heroine of the Blight. Together they will uncover a secret far greater than they imagined. One that will forever change the fate of mages in Thedas forever.

The book really keeps you on your toes for the first half of the novel, giving you full rounded characters. In the second half of the book, I just couldn't stop reading, it got so good so quick. Definitely a must read!

I love it!! I really recommend this book to anyone who is fan of Dragon Age franchise. The story is well-written and interesting. There are fascinating new characters with thier own difference opinions on freedom and restrictions for circle of mages and there will be some old faces return from Dragon Age: Origins. Go ahead and read! You won't regret it.

I usually don't expect much from books and movies based on games, but this one is great. I guess I shouldn't be so surprised since it's written by one of the writers for the games. It captures the ideologies on both sides of the mage-templar conflict brilliantly while providing context for the next game. If you intend to play inquisition, this is a good book to read in these last days before release.
