Varric Ashren died for a crime he didn't commit. He came back wrong.
Now he's bound to an angel's fading essence, hunting the demon-pact lords who feed villages to the void. Every kill buys him seven more days of life, but every use of power erodes the man he was.
Two years after his death in the Carrion Fields, Varric is running out of currency. The holy fire he wields burns away his soul piece by piece: first, the ability to feel the sun's warmth; next, the texture of grief. Soon, he will lose the memory of Elara-the woman he died for.
As Varric tracks a new breed of living weapons across the Gray Dominion, he must carve a path to the enemy's heart before he forgets who he is, who he loved, and the difference between justice and slaughter.
Some oaths bind tighter than death. But can you save the world if you forget why it's worth saving?
