Summary
In the aftermath of the Fifth Blight, two children of northern Ferelden are called back to the Coastlands. Elissa Cousland, the newly married queen and Warden-Commander, tries to rally what remains of the Grey Wardens to stamp out the evil still stalking the countryside. Nathaniel Howe, suddenly with nothing left to lose, returns to his ancestral home to sift through the wreckage of his family's reputation. During the increasingly desperate bid to save Amaranthine from the awakening darkspawn, they are haunted by grief both for those they have lost and for the lives they thought they would lead. All the while, they share the unique ability to understand the other's plight — for better or for worse.

Summary
From moment to moment Jane felt their relationship shifting, at one they were best friends and the next something more. It reminded her of those old toys with a bird on one side and its enclosure the other and if you spun it quick enough the two images blurred and merged. As she and Garrus spun on the dance floor, their relationship, in all its aspects, blurred until there was no distinction between the edges of one thing and the other, it was just her and Garrus, together.

Summary
Thirty years since first contact. Thirty years of war between the turians and the humans. Shanxi, a human fringe colony in the Traverse, has been the epicenter of the fighting. And humans are in the eleventh hour, about to lose not only their colonies, but their way of life. The only hope they have left is a Prothean beacon found hidden beneath labs-- a beacon which could, if given to the salarians, turn the tide of the war. The problem is: the turians want it just as badly.
Commander Roni Shepard wears her uniform more comfortably than her own skin. But a traumatic injury from the batarians, a client race to the Hierarchy, has left her unsure of everything she used to be secure in.
Lieutenant-Commander Garrus Vakarian thinks outside of the box, much to the chagrin of his commanding officers, his father, and the very establishment he fights for. When he uncovers a dark secret embedded deep within his own military, he holds on to the hope that others can put a stop to it, even if it destroys everything.
When both of them are tasked with securing the Prothean beacon, their lives will intertwine, and everything they thought they knew flies out the window when a mysterious ship also comes to collect.

Summary
The First Warden hasn't had a reason to visit the arling of Amaranthine since the Hero of Ferelden, Zukal Tabris, became its Arlessa five years ago. When he finally arrives for the fifth anniversary of the end of the Darkspawn Civil War, inviting King Alistair Theirin to meet him there, an investigation begins that may see Zukal demoted from Warden Commander and sent away from Ferelden. Alistair and Zukal are forced to work together after four long years of silence to try to prove her defeat of the archdemon without revealing Alistair's part in the dark ritual that saved her life. But Zukal's closest friend and overprotective Constable, Nathaniel Howe, doesn't trust that the King's motives are as altruistic as they initially seem. Nathaniel doesn't want to admit it, but something about the King's presence makes it hard for him to leave Zukal alone while he does everything he can to keep the woman who changed the course of his life in the role she deserves. Will friendships reach a turning point, will old hurts be forgiven, or will their past choices result in ruin?
This work is complete.
