    Summary

    ‘Yes,' Solas says quietly. 'I believe that everyone on this boat has a secret.'
    Felassan raises an eyebrow. ‘Even you?’
    Solas looks out across the river, and for a moment he is dizzy with the way the waves beckon him, the little lies they tell in every shift of the tide. He should deny it, but he finds that he cannot.
    ‘Most especially me,' he says heavily.

     Solas is a famous detective with a troubled history dating back to the wars that destroyed his homeland. When he embarks on a cruise along the Enavuris River to pursue a lead in his most recent case, he encounters a passionate love triangle which comes to a fatal end.

    Complicating the tragedy is the fact that the victim Justinia, heiress to the Chantry fortune, was murdered with Solas’ own gun. And then there’s the problem of his extremely inconvenient attraction to the prime suspect, Jacqueline Lavellan.

    As the cruise continues through the wilderness, rapidly approaching the Veil that separates the south of Thedas from the mysterious north, Solas races to uncover the truth before the killer can strike again.

    Summary

    Lavellan goes down. Hard.

    Solas does everything within his power to save her.

    “Scared.” Magic was readied over her muscles. Harpists’ fingers. Daggers. “Tired.”

    “Both will pass. As will the pain. I’m sorry—we are running out of time. I’m sorry to force you alive, vhenan, but in all of existence, there has never been a life like yours. I won’t surrender you to something so common as death. Live. Learn why.” The skin under Elanna’s teeth flexed; whatever it was had tendons beneath. “Bite instead of screaming. Never stop thinking. Dareth shiral.”

    Every bone burst out of her body.
