The world is ending, and everyone in the Inquisition is expected to sacrifice something to save it. For Commander Cullen Rutherford, that sacrifice may be himself. Walking away from lyrium means facing withdrawal at the worst possible time, when thousands depend on his judgment and Corypheus threatens everything they have built. For Arabella, a mage with an unusual connection to the Fade, every rift brings the Inquisition closer to victory, and her closer to something she doesn’t understand. Neither knows when to stop. Neither appreciates being told. And when two impossibly stubborn people become much better at recognizing each other’s self-destruction than their own, professional friction slowly becomes something neither of them planned for. Some sacrifices save the world. Others only destroy the person making them.
