Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne (Paperback)
by David Gaider (ISBN-10: 0765324083)
Release date: March 3, 2009
The thrilling prequel to Dragon Age: Origins, the hit role-playing video game from award-winning developer BioWare!
Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne
After his mother, the beloved Rebel Queen, is betrayed and murdered by her own faithless lords, young Maric becomes the leader of a rebel army attempting to free his nation from the control of a foreign tyrant.
"His countrymen live in fear; his commanders consider him untested; and his only allies are Loghain, a brash young outlaw who saved his life, and Rowan, the beautiful warrior maiden promised to him since birth. Surrounded by spies and traitors, Maric must find a way to not only survive but achieve his ultimate destiny: Ferelden’s freedom and the return of his line to the stolen throne."
Read this book to get in the mood. A very solid fantasy story that is quite independent to stand on its own without the game.
The Calling (Dragon Age) (Paperback)
by David Gaider (ISBN-10: 0765324091)
Release date: October 13, 2009 We will post our thoughts on the book upon completing them.
