Thrown into the life of an adventurer, Victoria, a doctor and necromancer with obsessions as sharp as her blades, finds herself on the receiving end of Astarion's attention. Her interests pull her towards him, but to keep it purely stoic is a struggle. Halsin offers a sanctuary for the imperfect goodness only he can see in her, while Astarion grants her the freedom to become her most dangerous self. Both steer her towards warring fronts, while she tries to fit in the common ground of their affection.

I watch Tav as she strides through camp, her fiery red hair flowing around her shoulders, sunlight glistening off her golden breastplate. She is strong, determined, and brave. The whole camp love her, the men tripping over themselves to be close to her, ready to follow her into battle at a moments notice. She is beautiful, the epitome of grace.... What a bitch
I shake my head, ashamed at my petty thoughts. Jealousy has always been a weakness of mine. But I cannot help but compare myself to Tav, everything I am not.
Surely there was a mistake? Why would the Dream Visitor help me? A 36 year old mother, her adventuring days behind her? I'm just a regular person, a nobody? What benefit could I possibly bring to this group of incredible heroes? There has definitely been a big mistake.
