A Lady's Command

Born into wealth and privilege, second only to royalty, Octavia Cousland is the perfect picture of noble women. Dainty, kind, soft spoken and engaged to a good man, Darrien Oswin. The betrayal of her family leaves her alone, grieving her lover's death, grieving her family's death, shallow and broken. Despite all she had lost and suffered, the emptiness and numbness she felt, she found herself forced to take up arms and defend Fereldan from the Blight and the civil war. Convinced she will never be what the world needs, doubting herself and her capabilities, she must push through to survive. She must discover if she can be more than just a noblewoman, and if she can fall in love again.

Will be renamed later.
