    Summary

    Amara Savani is the disgraced eldest daughter of a Tevinter magister who has spent the past fifteen years in the Necropolis after an incident in Minrathous made her a political liability. She's carved out a life in exile - throwing herself into her research, she's come to enjoy her time in Nevarra, even with the ever-present shadow of her family never far from her mind. When her younger half-sister Ursa finds a love match in the youngest son of a prominent Altus family, Amara's unmarried status is the only remaining barrier to their engagement in the eyes of the prospective groom's traditionalist family. Unwilling to submit to a life with the political candidates her father has procured, she strikes a deal with Emmrich - come to Tevinter to marry her, and receive her dowry as funding for his research.

    Unable to see his friend trapped in a loveless marriage, he agrees - and the two of them embark on a journey to Tevinter, determined to keep up the ruse long enough to make it back to Nevarra... but Minrathous has other ideas.

    Summary

    The hour was late, and the thought of disturbing her nagged with apprehension. Surely she didn't require his company, nor his consolation, when she had such a treasured, sororal bond with Neve. Yet he found himself taking the long walk down the corridor to her quarters nonetheless.

    'Perhaps reminiscing of home will offer a welcome distraction, if only for a short while.' He assured himself. 'A comfort that I am uniquely disposed to provide.'

    All thoughts of Nevarran eccentricities and their hopeful nostalgia halted as he arrived at her door. It greeted him with an alarming sound.

    Summary

    Clio de Riva’s magic is practical, utilitarian, and always in concert with destructive objectives, for the Crows, and now for the Veilguard. Emmrich’s magic is... well, magical. When he lights up his tower with starlight one night, Clio is curious how it’s done. Emmrich indulges her.

     

    “How did you make those?” Clio’s voice parted the drowsy silence of the early morning and hung in the air like a fog.

    Emmrich, without opening his eyes or halting the soft hand running up and down her bare back, hummed inquisitively. “Make what, my dear?”

    “The twinkling lights, the little stars,” she said, pointing up at the cavernous ceiling filled with small but numerous specks of green light, shading the room in an uncannily soothing twilit cast. They had escaped her notice earlier, but now... she had been staring at them for at least half an hour, resisting the hypnotic lullaby of Emmrich’s measured breaths. She didn’t know why, but their gentle constancy entranced her. “I’ve never seen anyone use magic like that.”
