[ Dark Fantasy, Rivals to Lovers, Found Family ]
She has too many names, and none of them are hers.
To the Magister who owns her, she is Avis, her blood a simple spell component for his magic. To others she is Viera, and to more she is Mela'Nan.
When the Divine calls for a Conclave between the Templars and the Mages, spies are sent from groups all over Thedas to witness the event. Tevinter is no different. But when the Veil between demons and the living is torn in a massive explosion, she is the only one left standing, her hand marked with an arcane power understood by no one.
Her master is dead. Those chains are broken. But new ones tie her to the Breach in the sky, which only this strange mark can close. Now she takes on a new name: the Herald. And still she claws her way to freedom despite the Inquisition that relies on her for so much.
Amidst the suffering, the death, and the trauma she must carve an identity for herself. And more than that, she must decide what matters more in the end: absolute freedom for herself alone, or making the world a more fair place for others, strangers and those she loves alike.
