Interesting things to note -
- Set in Orlais. Empress Celene I appears to be the protagonist. 

- Centers on the Mage/Templar conflict and beginnings of an elven uprising. 

- Others characters of note include Grand Duke Gaspard who appears to intially follow Celene I but begins to doubt that her approach to dealing with the issues Orlais faces is the right one. Seems to be set to go head to head with her for leadership of Orlais. There's also Celene's elven handmaiden (&spymaster&lover), Briala, who also appears to play a big role. 

- April 2014 release (might hint at DA3 being released around the same time or soon after?)

- First DA novel to not be penned by David Gaider. Patrick Weekes, who seems to have exclusively worked with the Mass Effect franchise in the past, is taking over. I'm interested to see how well he does but am curious as to why Gaider isn't continuing to write. I'd hazard a guess that DA3 and other side projects are taking up most of his attention. It could be something entirely different. In any case, it's gonna take some adjusting.

I'd have liked to do another book, but I simply didn't have the time. Thankfully, the book's in good hands. Patrick is on the DA team now, and is a great writer. I suspect that if you liked my books you'll like what he's done/doing with this one.
