Thank you. Unfortunately, it has been disabled.

Are you logged into Amazon?

[MisterJB]

Yes.

[themageguy]

Yeah it's no longer available to 'see inside' the book.
Shame, cause if there's any dalish and keeper fans and magic involving the environment ......
Patrick Weekes, you've made Me a very happy fanboy.

That was as much as I could glean from using the search text function....wierd thing, I was signed into my account but unable to sign in to view more text.

Maybe too much of the novel was available...?

Honestly was wary that it wasn't David Gaider writing the nove at first, but I definitely don't mind Patricks writing style.

I found a site with some preview , it's just the first chapters though.

Resolving the Orlesian Civil War interests me infinitely more than the whole Tear In Sky business.

 

I'm a sucker for more human/political conflicts. 

[leaguer of one]

Yes.

Oh...Sorry. It was 4 chapters of some extremely good reads.

 

If you like twist and turns in a plot you going to love it. And Weeks' a master developing interesting character. This book is gold.

It also has Elvin issues as well.

Personally, I would never write or think of writing so much details for closes. Weeks' also stand out with how he write how the characters think, like how Card does with his Alvin Maker series.

 

And the use of the word Rabbit surprised me. Took me some time to get the meaning of it.

Celene is so fool woman. Elves dies from human deseases and can't have children from them. And she wants tham to live with humans.

Let's not do this here. It's clear you don't even know what going on in the book so far.

[ladyofpayne]

Oh! Only Gaspard has brain and use it.

 

Three more weeks of gritting her teeth and dealing with Grand Duke Gaspard, who agitated with the other nobles in an attempt to start a war. Three weeks of trying to ignore the idiotic arguments started by thuggish templars and mages who refused to see the way of the world.
And her reward for perseverance would be Gaspard bellowing that she had let the Chantry have more power, as though power was a sword only one person could hold at a time.

I smell an elven rebellion! I like it! 8D

“Someday I’ll have to see your dog, Teagan,” Gaspard said, not to be distracted from his play. “But tonight, in celebration of the friendship between our empire and your, ah, kingdom, I brought something for you.” He snapped his fingers, and a servant rushed up carrying a long bundle wrapped in rich green velvet.
Gaspard took the package and handed it to Teagan with a wide smile. Reluctantly, knowing he was stepping into a trap but unable to find a way to avoid doing so, the ambassador unwrapped the package.
Inside, as Briala had informed Celene earlier in the afternoon, was a sword. It was Fereldan in make, largely functional but with a few hints of ornamentation around the hilt and cross guard to suggest that it was the fighting blade of a noble. It was worse for wear, with nicks along the blade and a few spots of rust.
“Grand Duke Gaspard!” Michel moved to put himself between Celene and the sword. The weapon should never have made it into the hall—guards at the palace entrance checked all packages to prevent an assassin from bringing a weapon inside. Which was, Celene reflected, why Gaspard had gone to so much trouble to get the package smuggled in and hidden in the hedge maze earlier that day.
“At ease, chevalier.” Gaspard eyed the blade. “I’d as soon come at someone with a fireplace poker as I would wield that thing.” He nodded to Bann Teagan. “It was taken off the body of some Fereldan noblewoman who got caught making trouble for poor Meghren. Moira, I believe.” Behind his gold and green mask, his eyes twinkled with good humor. “Our servants had been using it to kill rats in the cellars.”
Teagan had gone still, looking at the sword in his hands as though the rest of the court had vanished. The green velvet bunched around his white-knuckled fists.
“That was a noble’s sword?” Melcendre asked, adding just the right touch of doubt to lure the crowd into laughing at the battered blade and drive Teagan further toward saying something that Gaspard could construe as an insult.
It was a simple play, but an effective one. Bann Teagan would be goaded until he said something in anger. Then Melcendre would gasp in shock, to ensure that even the dimmest nobles understood that they should take offense. Celene would then get to choose between having Ser Michel challenge Bann Teagan to satisfy Orlais’s honor and saying nothing, allowing Gaspard to brandish his chevalier’s code of honor and deliver the challenge himself. Either result would sour relations between Orlais and Ferelden, moving them closer to another foolish war.
War was where Gaspard shone brightest.
All this crossed Celene’s mind, even as Gaspard twisted the knife. “Well, she called herself the Rebel Queen. Closer to being a bandit or a mercenary captain, really. She thought she could drive us out of Ferelden.”
“And she was right,” Teagan said, still not looking at Gaspard. “Her son Maric drove you all out of our kingdom.”
“Shame Moira didn’t live to see it,” Gaspard said, looking around the room with a grin. “Perhaps if she’d had one of your big dogs…”

Elite Battle troll. 80 level. I want book about him alone.

 

 

‘King Meghren’s Mabari.’

 

Chevalier burns!

[themageguy]

Now if someone could post the scenes where that elven Mage is unleashing some magic )

[Banxey]

Someone should probably alter the title to say the thread has spoilers.

Yes, he is.

He is sharp like chili pepper. I want chevalier in party.

Dude. Your saying that you should listen to a war monger who wants half the nobility dead, wants to go to war with other countries needlessly and impose a bloody rule over the common populace.

You really don't know what you're talking about.

I do. But you don't. He want to make Orlais number 1 in Thedas. And this means war. Everybody lived like that. This is Medieval not 21 century. You want medieval ruler act like man from our time? Patric Weekes knows better.

[thats1evildude]

Wow, Gaspard sounds like a giant bag of dicks.

1. It's not Medieval times.

2.Burning your empires forces out and making everyone your enemy is not the way to go. Not with radon blights and the qunari on there way.

3. His nature in politics always cause to fall of empires.

[DragonRacer]

I would have to agree.

 

Sort of reinforces my disgust of Orlais and Orlesians in general - the nobility, at least. 

 

Loghain was so very, very right about them.

The ironic thing is that Empress Celine is trying to change all of that. The nobility is kicking and screaming that entire way.

Like gamers do when dev change things in their games?

[The Elder King]

Gaspard will likely die in my canon playthrough. And I kind of wish the Human PC is Fereldan at this point.
