I do not own most of the characters, places, or things that are used. *Credit to Bioware* PLEASE do not read if you plan to play, or have not yet finished Dragon Age 2, because this book contains SPOILERS. The ideas in this story are things I personally thought of. This is my first book that I am determined to finish, so if you have suggestions, or thoughts on how things should be improved, please message me or comment. Thank you greatly for reading, and I hope you enjoy. **Edit** Now that I have finished both Dragon age II and Dragon Age: Inquisition, this book is going to head in that direction. Meaning that there will also be SPOILERS for Dragon Age Inquisition. I may mark the spoiler chapters, but for your own safety, please play the game and then read this.) (Oh yeah, uh I sorta made "Sarah" and "Fenris" on the Sims 4, so a lot of the pictures used in the story, like the cover photo, will be from there. They belong to me, so please ask before you use them in something else. Thank you! c: )
