Based upon the hit role-playing video game from award-winning developer BioWare! The Templar Order, once the sworn protectors of the Circle of Magi, are murdering and burning mages across the land. Seeking haven with the Grey Wardens, elf mage Valya joins a caravan to Weisshaupt, where she stumbles onto an ages-old secret diary from the infamous end of the Fourth Blight. Reading it, Valya falls into the tragic story of Isseya, another elven mage - a fierce Grey Warden and the lost-to-history twin sister of the hero Garahel, who sacrificed himself to end the Fourth Blight.
