Dragon Age: Roots Beneath Stone

Ferelden has never made room for elves. It has only built different walls around them.

Serya Tabris was raised beneath the shadow of Denerim's alienage walls, taught that survival meant knowing when to lower her eyes and when to draw a blade.

Cael Surana grew up within the Circle Tower, separated from his people and praised for magical talent that would never truly belong to him. After surviving his Harrowing, one desperate choice threatens to change his life forever.

Atheran Mahariel has always been different, even among the Dalish. Broader, stronger, and more physically imposing than the hunters beside him, he has spent his life protecting Clan Sabrae. When an ancient ruin infects him with the darkspawn taint, the Grey Wardens become his only hope of survival.

Three elves.

Three lives shaped by different forms of captivity.

When the Fifth Blight begins, their paths converge beneath the banner of the Grey Wardens. Together, they must unite a kingdom that distrusts their blood, reclaim pieces of elven history lost beneath centuries of ruin, and decide how much of themselves they are willing to sacrifice for a nation that has rarely considered them its people.

Along the way, Serya finds freedom, danger, and unexpected tenderness with an Antivan assassin. Atheran discovers that faith and love can survive even the darkest transformation. Cael is drawn toward a witch who recognizes both his hunger for forbidden knowledge and the man beneath it.

Ancient magic will awaken.

Dragon blood will burn.

Old wounds will become weapons.

And Ferelden will learn that roots survive, even when stone is laid over them.
