== Synopsis ==
The Grey Wardens are heroes across Thedas once again: the Archdemon has been defeated with relative ease and the scattered darkspawn are being driven back underground. The Blight is over. Or so it seems.
Valya, a young elven mage recently recruited into the Wardens, has been tasked with studying the historical record of previous Blights in order to gain insight into newly reported, and disturbing, darkspawn phenomena. Her research into the Fourth Blight leads her to an encoded reference scrawled in the margins of an ancient map, and to the hidden diary of Isseya, one of the last of the fabled griffon riders. As the dark secrets buried in Isseya's story unfold, Valya begins to question everything she thought she knew about the heroic Grey Wardens. . . .

== Notes ==
* In 5:12 Exalted, Garahel makes a quip about seducing a Qunari. However, Qunari didn't arrive in Thedas until 6:30 Steel.Dragon Age: Last Flight, p. 47
** According to the author, she made the conscious decision as a way of justifying the use of ogres in the Exalted Age sections. Merciel also noted that the mention was only meant to establish the idea that certain Gray Warden scouts may have already encountered Qunari during isolated instances whilst riding on Griffons. Merciel also brought up the possibility that such knowledge would have been forgotten when the Wardens who did know about the Qunari during the Fourth Blight would have ended up being killed.
* In Chapter 19, in 5:20 Exalted, Isseya speaks to someone with the title Champion of Kirkwall. This conflicts with a codex in Dragon Age II, which states Hawke is the first Champion Kirkwall has ever had. This is an editing error and it is actually the Champion of Starkhaven who speaks with Isseya.
== Trivia ==
* While the author Liane Merciel was given the option of using several established characters from the franchise, she actively opted not to do so, as she didn't want to risk the chance of writing an established character in a way that was contrary to what had previously been established.
* Ser Gaston de Montfort, ancestor of Duke Prosper and Lord Cyril de Montfort, is briefly seen speaking at Garahel's war council.
* Amadis Vael is also related to Sebastian Vael, a potential companion in Dragon Age II.
* Isseya observes that Garahel's helm has fallen off at some point during the final battle. Garahel's Helm eventually wound up in Kirkwall during the Dragon Age.Dragon Age: Last Flight, p. 248
