Summary
When King Cailan and his wife Anora are killed suddenly and without any heirs, Ferelden is left without a clear ruler. In order to avoid civil war or—worse—another Orlesian occupation, they’re soon forced to turn to the most unlikely source imaginable for a solution; Cailan’s younger, bastard-born brother Alistair. For him, the situation is already bad enough when he’s forced to retire from serving as a templar soldier and bullied onto the throne instead. He’s expected to somehow forget a lifetime of living as a simple commoner in favor of becoming royalty, something Alistair doesn’t know the first thing about and has no desire to learn.
Then everything gets about ten times worse when Eamon announces that he has to get married now too. To one Elissa Cousland, the daughter of a teyrn, raised her entire life within this world of wealth, power and privilege he"s found himself abruptly thrust into. A hopeless romantic, Alistair wants nothing at all to do with the idea of being married off to a total stranger. Unfortunately, much like everything else in his life nowadays, he"s left with very little choice in the matter.
