Book 2 in Mother of Griffons series. You can start here if you want. I try to recap through the fic. Some parts might not make as much sense though. "Well-behaved women seldom make history." Powers change within the Order of the Grey. The healing royal couple struggles with shadows of the past as they navigate responsibilities to their Kingdom and the Grey Wardens. Lieutenant Howe finds himself in a confusing relationship with a younger Warden, conflicting with his commitment to duty. *Originally posted on AO3* cover art by xla-hainex.

I hate dying. I know that I hate it because I've already died once. The pain doesn't bother me, that's not what hurts the most about dying. What hurts the most is knowing that I was leaving behind my loved ones. And the fact that I'm on a mission that I need to see through. Or so help me- I'll come back again to unleash hell. I'm Milana Rae Shepard, and this is my story. (I don't own Mass Effect or it's characters.)
