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.

Starblessed
When the Veil between realms was torn apart, the world of Elyndor fell into ruin. The immortal Queen of Ashen Glass rules from her floating court above the clouds, feeding on the magic of lesser beings-humans, vampires, and half-Fae alike. Below, the world rots under her shadow. Rhiannon Vale, a healer hiding among the remnants of humankind, has spent her life concealing a secret that could damn her-the shimmer of Fae blood beneath her skin. But when the Queen's soldiers raze her village and the power she's buried all her life awakens in the flames, Rhiannon is forced to flee into a haunted wilderness where even the trees remember death. In the depths of that forest, she encounters something ancient-a voice that should not exist, bound to her by blood and ruin. Its name is whispered in legends: Aelric Thorne, the fallen vampire fae prince, cursed and forgotten beneath the earth. Though they have not yet met, the bond between them begins to stir, waking old magic that even the Queen once feared. As Rhiannon struggles to survive the wasteland and the hunters closing in, she discovers her power is not a curse but a key-one that could unmake the Queen's dominion or doom what's left of the world. And somewhere in the shadows, Aelric begins to remember the girl who burns like light in his darkness.

Steal my heart (Regency Romance AU)
Dragon Age the Veilguard Fanfic, Lucanis Dellamorte x Original Female Character (nicknamed Rook ;)) Marchioness Caterina Dellamorte has decided that her grandsons need to wed. Her grandsons have other ideas. So does Rook, who is considered a hopeless spinster at the age of 26, but her parents have decided to give her one more chance to find a match. Finding a common cause, Rook and Lucanis hatch a plan to get both of them through the season without having to deal with debutantes and suitors. This fic has absolutely nothing to do with the plot of the game. It is set very roughly at around 7:80 Storm, and I am taking *Liberties* with the history and people of Thedas and pretty much everything else (except, hopefully, the core of the characters) to suit my story. Disclaimer: I have not read the Bridgerton books, but Rook is basically Eloise in this one. You can also find me on ao3 under Frotee and on tumblr under Frotee's corner :) (Any and all art used for my fics is my own)Complete
The Villainess Won't Play
Selena Ashford's life was nothing but a monotonous shell-until one fateful morning, she wakes up as Seraphina Ashenveil, the villainess of the very fantasy romance she despises: Whispers of Hearts. Known for its twisted plots and the inevitable death of its villainess, Selena's new life is a nightmare. Ugh.. Why this stupid book!? As Seraphina, she is surrounded by two figures who mark her doom: her ruthless father, Aldric Ashenveil, and the male lead, Caius Valerian, whose cold indifference promises only betrayal. But fate throws her an unexpected twist-she crosses paths with Killian Valmond, the second male lead, a fiercely loyal and annoyingly arrogant knight who dies in a most pathetic yet stupid way for the female lead. Tsk, Cliché. But he is not leaving her side. He sticks with her like she's something which either needs to be guarded or protected. She can't tell which. Stupid Man. Seeking refuge, Seraphina hides in a small village, where the kind-hearted locals accept her without asking questions. Despite her growing frustrations with Killian's persistent presence, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about her new reality. Something is off-no one seems to be playing by the rules of the story, and the characters seem eerily alive, drifting away from their roles as if the book itself was a mere myth. Or Maybe.. Is it? Slowly, Selena uncovers unsettling truths that suggest her life, the worlds, everything might be a lie. As the lines between fiction and reality blur, Seraphina must decide if she can carve her own path to survival or if she's destined for a fate far worse than the book ever predicted.
