The destruction of Kirkwall's Circle of Magi has brought chaos to the lives of the mages and templars throughout Thedas. Some mages teeter on the brink of rebellion against their templar watchers, while others struggle to maintain order and stability amid the tides of change. In the majestic White Spire, at the heart of templar power in Val Royeaux, tensions have reached the boiling point. The actions of a few radicals draw the attention of the seekers, a powerful and secret segment of the templars, who arrive to take command and restore order no matter the cost. To make matters worse, a mystical killer stalks the White Spire's halls, invisible to all save one lone mage. As Rhys is the only one who can see the killer, all eyes turn to him as the prime suspect in the murder investigation. With little hope of proving his innocence, Rhys's future looks to be short and grim. But his skill with spirit magic earns him a reprieve, as he is drafted into an expedition traveling deep into the western wastelands of Orlais. There, his fate will become entwined with that of a beautiful templar, a tormented soul, and Wynne—heroine of the Blight. Together they will uncover a secret far greater than they imagined. One that will forever change the fate of mages in Thedas forever.
