When Stars Align * PaVellan

Rasha Lavellan didn't ask to be the Herald of Andraste, let alone the Inquisitor-he just wanted to be left alone with his magic, his clan, and maybe a little peace for a change. But fate has a funny way of dragging people into the spotlight, and now this sharp-witted Dalish mage is carrying the weight of Thedas on his shoulders. He charges into each battle with sarcasm as sharp as his staff, hiding the fact that every new scar chips away at the light-hearted, curious kid he used to be. And then came Dorian Pavus: Tevinter's brightest mage and Rasha's personal thorn in the side-a charming, wickedly intelligent mirror to Rasha's snark, and possibly the only one who can see through that wall of sarcasm.

What starts as Rasha's reluctant crusade to close demon-spewing rifts becomes something much deeper. He's got to unite the humans he's never quite forgiven, rally warriors who look right through him, and somehow keep a band of misfits from killing each other before they save the world. The pressure's high, the nights are long, and more often than he'd like, Rasha's forced to confront the side of himself he keeps buried under charm and quick wit. It's a rough road, but if there's one thing Rasha's learned, it's that the hardest paths usually lead somewhere worth going-and maybe, just maybe, Dorian will be waiting for him at the end of it.
