Summary
Marian Hawke had always lived her life for her family—but magic took them all from her. Her mother killed by blood magic, her sister by the Blight that the magisters of old unleashed upon the world, her brother now a templar who no longer speaks to his apostate sister. She tells herself that if she can just be the perfect Andrastian, maybe one day it’ll make up for the fact that she’s a mage. Maybe then she’ll feel clean.
She falls in love with a Chantry Brother who's also the most selfless man she's ever met, the only person she knows who carries as much guilt as she does. And though they’re both desperate to atone, when they look into each other’s eyes, neither can imagine why someone so wonderful should feel so damned. She knows there’s no real precedent for their chaste marriage. An apostate joining the Chantry in the first place is revolutionary. But Sebastian's enthusiasm makes her believe that maybe the Maker might actually let them have this.
Then comes the destruction of the Kirkwall Chantry and the invocation of the Right of Annulment.
Afterwards, nothing at all is certain.
