Synopsis

Legendary writer Greg Rucka begins an all-new story set in the immersive dark fantasy world of Dragon Age!

Tessa and Marius are mercenary partners united by an unbreakable bond and compelled to eliminate those who use magic to hurt others. When they betray a powerful patron who intended to kill them once their job was completed, they're forced to run and join the Inquisition. With the breach in the sky tearing the world apart, there's more to fear than Venatori and an angry former employer. Can Tessa, Marius, and the Inquisition overcome the greatest threat Thedas has ever faced!?

About the Author:

Greg Rucka was born in San Francisco and raised on the Central Coast of California. He began his writing career in earnest at the age of 10 by winning a county-wide short-story contest, and hasn't let up since. He graduated from Vassar College with an A.B. in English, and from the University of Southern California's Master of Professional Writing program with an M.F.A.

He is the author of nearly a dozen novels, six featuring bodyguard Atticus Kodiak, and two featuring Tara Chace, the protagonist of his Queen & Country series. Additionally, he has penned several short-stories, countless comics, and the occasional non-fiction essay. In comics, he has had the opportunity to write stories featuring some of the world's best-known characters--Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman--as well as penning several creator-owned properties himself, such as Whiteout and Queen & Country, both published by Oni Press. His work has been optioned for film several times over, and his services are in high-demand in a variety of creative fields as a story-doctor and creative consultant.

Greg resides in Portland, Oregon, with his wife, author Jennifer Van Meter, and his two children. The author lives in Portland, OR..

Review:

"Hardcore Dragon Age fans will appreciate the deeper dive into cultures and lore, while newcomers ... can appreciate the brutal battles, clever writing, gorgeous and detailed art, and lovable, thoughtful cast of characters." -IGN

"I think the effort that Bioware has consistently put into every on of their roleplaying games-- we can talk aboutMass Effect, we can talk about Dragon Age, we can talk about Jade Empire, you can go down the list--is really stunning. I know with Dragon Age in particular, we're talking about a fantasy setting that is probably one of the most fully and beautifully realized examples of world building that we've seen." --Greg Rucka, author
