Woah.
What IS this?
And why haven't we heard anything about this before?
And who is the author?
Woah.
I was like:
but really though, why haven't we heard about this? We've wanted to know what the wardens have been upto, and I think this'll answer some of it.
PRE-F******-ORDERED
I'm actually debating whether or not I should hold off on both TME and this one so some story aspects may hit me more as a surprise when I play Inquisition. Of course, that would require some extreme caution on these forums to avoid spoilers, though.
Whaaaat? I literally just pre-ordered The Masked Empire and now there's another book coming out? About Wardens? And most importantly:
GRIFFINS?
Maybe this will give some more insight on what the Wardens are doing. As someone who is not good with fantasy dates, etc, when does this take place (like before DAI, after DA2, what)?

It references the Blight and Archdemon having been defeated relatively easily. As the fifth Blight was by-far the shortest, taking about a year, it is at the very least sometime between the end of Origins and beginning of Inquisition, which is a ten year period I believe. We'll get a better idea of when exactly when we get an excerpt or the book comes out.
While the parts with Issenya and the Griffons will be hundreds of years before hand.
Why is Tom Rhodes written right of the bottom in red seemingly flames?

Because he's the author of the cover art?..
What in the Maker's name is this weapon?
It's a fire-spear-shooting bow

Look at the wee little armoured helmet it's wearing.
pre-ordered! 
i still need to read Asunder before Masked Empire comes out, then read that before this comes out xD
I wonder if it's at all possible to get that cover picture on my wall. I want it on my wall.
Cover confirmed for awesome. Let's hope the contents are just as good! 
Ooooooooh! Sounds interesting, and I love the cover art!
We've never had a real look at how Wardens usually operate during a Blight. And I've always wondered if Flemeth's shenanigans were unique to the Fifth Blight, or if she's done the OGB thing before. Maybe we'll get an answer to that. And Garahel! And Griffons! And shady Grey Warden secrets! The concerns about the writer are understandable, but I can't help being excited.
So is it Issenya or Isseyna, I wonder? The blurb author couldn't decide.
It's actually "Isseya." That's a really early version of the blurb from before the character's name was finalized. 
Also: hi guys! I actually cannot talk much about the book because of NDA issues until it releases.
But here's some stuff I CAN tell you:
-- Yes, I was a fan of Dragon Age long before anybody asked me to write for the universe. Before that I was a huge fan of Baldur's Gate (BGII is still my absolute #1 most favorite game of all time and I replay it constantly). Getting to see my name on the same cover as the Bioware logo is a pretty huge dream come true.
I can't actually play the DA games though, because I never developed the skills to handle a controller. My husband plays them for me and I watch. I get to tell him which dialogue options to pick. Also I get to heckle him if he loses too many fights, which is possibly even more fun.
-- I was not aware of the fan reaction to the Mass Effect novel prior to starting this project. I stumbled upon the Deception rage comic while I was doing editorial revisions on this book and let me tell you, that is an experience to strike terror into one's heart. Because at that point the novel's pretty much done and there's not much you can do but close your eyes and pray for mercy.
-- However, the Bioware team was very much aware of that.
-- If you want to see some of my previous tie-in work and do not wish to pay cash dollars for the experience, there are two free short stories that I wrote for the Pathfinder universe on the Paizo website.
"Certainty": http://paizo.com/pat...erial/certainty
"Misery's Mirror": http://pathfinderwik...Misery's_Mirror (that page has links to all four sections of that story)
I probably won't be checking this forum too much, because I'm supposed to be working on stuff and goofing around on the Internet totally destroys my productivity, but I'm pretty tickled to see that you all discovered this book so quickly and I hope you guys like it.
Hey, cool, it's the author! ^^
I know you said you wouldn't be around to post much, but I'd love to hear how you learnt of this thread. Your book hasn't been officially announced yet from what I've seen, so we're essentially going wild over a leak.
Glad to see the franchise seems to be in competent hands, as well =)
I think that one falls into the category of questions I'm allowed to answer, sure. 
I got an email from a Dragon Age fan a couple of days ago asking some questions about the book. It was a very nice email, but my initial reaction was "wiat waht?" just because as far as I knew, the book had not officially been announced yet.
So I Googled around trying to figure out how anybody knew about the book, and this thread is what I found.
It's actually "Isseya." That's a really early version of the blurb from before the character's name was finalized.
Thank you for clarification And... is it a male or a female name? The question might seem stupid, but still I'm confused about it

Great, thanks so much for posting
I'm very much looking forward to seeing more about Last Flight.
I love the cover art. The griffon, the fire-spear-shooting bow that I want that for my own characters now, the helmets, the burning village in the background - it's all so awesome! The story info looks like there will be a good deal of history involved (ancient maps, hidden diary, Warden secrets, last griffon rider) and I've always been interested in that sort of thing.

I'm very glad to see this. And I was just thinking "I hope the author is a Dragon Age fan" when I found out about the book. The main issues with ME: Deception seemed to be a result of the author not being familiar with the universe or characters in his story.
Thanks for posting. 
You should check in with the forums every now and then. Just consider it advertisement for your book.
Also the griffon rider in the background, at the end of their weapon it looks like it could be frost enchantment/magic?I love the cover art.

What what, how am I only just finding out about this? I've only just preorder the masked empire. Still looking forward to this and its good to know its in safe hands.
