    Summary

    Ilya in 2014 had no idea his time with Hollander was so limited — something that Ilya in 2016 knows all too well.

    Ilya in 2016 is also playing hockey like shit. The version of himself on the television misses an easy shot, and the commentators tear him apart for it. Ilya, watching from his bed, is inclined to agree with them. His father’s decline is almost a blessing this month, when his usual level of vitriol would be for once so entirely deserved.

    He’s thinking about all of this, beer in hand, when there’s a knock on his door.

    Summary

    Ellana does not go quietly into the night. Having survived the horrors inflicted on her by humans, she navigates the Inquisition with resolve and cunning. Unwilling to compromise who she is—a Dalish elf—she finds herself pulled by powers both within and beyond herself. When she discovers Fen’Harel, her heart is lost to him, yet with that loss, the other half of her song is found. In her pursuit of immortality and a desire to live with her beloved in peace, she seeks to shatter the Veil—with or without his aid.

    Summary

    ‘Yes,' Solas says quietly. 'I believe that everyone on this boat has a secret.'
    Felassan raises an eyebrow. ‘Even you?’
    Solas looks out across the river, and for a moment he is dizzy with the way the waves beckon him, the little lies they tell in every shift of the tide. He should deny it, but he finds that he cannot.
    ‘Most especially me,' he says heavily.

     Solas is a famous detective with a troubled history dating back to the wars that destroyed his homeland. When he embarks on a cruise along the Enavuris River to pursue a lead in his most recent case, he encounters a passionate love triangle which comes to a fatal end.

    Complicating the tragedy is the fact that the victim Justinia, heiress to the Chantry fortune, was murdered with Solas’ own gun. And then there’s the problem of his extremely inconvenient attraction to the prime suspect, Jacqueline Lavellan.

    As the cruise continues through the wilderness, rapidly approaching the Veil that separates the south of Thedas from the mysterious north, Solas races to uncover the truth before the killer can strike again.

    Summary

    Mihir's Keeper tells her fireflies are unafraid of the burn of their lanterns because they steal from the licks of light to scare off pests and perils of the night. She's never felt their kin, prone to shadows as she is. She prefers the comforts of the Fade. She met the Dread Wolf there.

    He taught her all she knows about the world before leaving one day, without a word. His return, now, comes with an ask: to help him retrieve a magical relic he calls the orb. Mihir, forever starved for approval, agrees without a moment's consideration.

    Her Keeper, unaware of the relationship Mihir built with the Dread Wolf in the Fade, sends Firra, her soon to-be husband, with them as safeguard.

    They wend through woods familiar to Firra, unfamiliar to her. The journey forces revelations Mihir has never wanted to face regarding her own nature. Still, she perseveres in hopes that she may return to her clan as the First they deserve.
