The Herald's Crow

Fen'len Killean Arainai has served the Antivan Crows for fourteen years-trained to kill, trained to follow orders, and trained to remain unseen. But when she is assigned to protect Maxwell Trevelyan, a young nobleman turned Inquisitor, her world shifts. Her quiet, solitary duty soon spirals into chaos

As Maxwell steps into his newfound role as the Herald of Andraste, surrounded by powerful allies and a world of responsibilities, Killean finds herself pushed to the margins. Her red eyes, her elf blood, and the scars that mar half her face make her a constant reminder of the dangers she's tried to escape. Maxwell, unwilling to use her as a weapon, keeps her at arm's length. Maxwell's well-meaning affection blinds him to the pain he causes her-a pain rooted in the one thing she fears most: being unwanted.

Caught between duty, self-doubt, and the walls she's built around herself, Killean's journey takes an unexpected turn when she finds solace in the unlikeliest of places: Cullen Rutherford, the stoic Commander of the Inquisition. Though Killean was never meant to be more than Maxwell's protector, her heart begins to change in ways she never thought possible. But as her past threatens to catch up with her, and as Maxwell's path leads him further from the person she once knew, Killean must decide if her future lies in the shadows of duty-or in the light of a love she never thought she'd deserve.
