Mirror Bright

A blind elven mage bound to the Fade.
A necromancer who would spend his last heartbeat to keep her breathing.

When the ancient Evanuris stir the Blight to life, Elora "Rook" Ingellvar leads the battered Veilguard to forge an impossible alliance-Nevarra's Mourn Watch and Antiva's Crows-while the silver wildfire under her skin grows more volatile each day. Emmrich Volkarin, scholar of death and the man who loves her, hunts a forbidden rite that could lash his life to hers...or ruin them both.

From corpse-lit catacombs to the knives-and-masques of Halamshiral, the Veilguard navigate conspiracies where smiles are weapons and mirrors are doors. Courts and crypts alike hide designs on Rook's power; an unseen hand reaches to cut the Fade's anchor from her and set it in another. Old rivals return wearing new crests. Lovers become each other's shield-and temptation.

As Caer Dathlen bleeds and ballroom music drowns the sound of drawn steel, Rook must choose what her power is for-and who gets to choose with her. Love, obsession, and duty tangle in a war against gods who do not know how to die.

If the Evanuris mean to drown Thedas, the Veilguard will teach them to bleed.
