In the aftermath of the Circle crisis, Mei Surana tries to find her path in Denerim and Max Trevelyan works to rebuild the Circle as its new Knight-Captain. Meanwhile, Juliet Hawke navigates a delicate relationship with Fenris while her best friend Naia Tabris grapples with a demanding workload--and her attraction to a certain ex-assassin. All of that would be plenty to cope with on its own. But as pressure from Councilwoman Meredith Stannard puts the future of Denerim's mages in question, the four of them will be drawn into a confrontation with a deadly enemy. An urban fantasy AU and sequel to "Denerim Confidential." Cover image is "New York City at Night" by Paulo Barcellos Jr., CC BY-SA-2.0.
