Varric has two weeks left to live. That’s the least of his problems.

Twelve-year-old Varric wants nothing more than to save his mom’s life. After all, it’s his fault she’s dying.

But when he breaks into a castle to steal a magical relic that might save her, the relic is stolen right out from under his nose. Even worse, he’s arrested for the theft. Unless he can find and return the missing relic within two weeks, he’ll be executed by a magical explosive on his wrist.

As if that weren’t bad enough, Varric discovers that the relic is actually a key to an ancient prison containing a malicious and powerful creature. Varric’s quest to save himself and his mom turns into a race to keep the prison locked and save all of humanity from destruction.

Varric wants the Sage to save his mom. The Sage wants to destroy humanity instead.

Despite his impending exile, twelve-year-old Varric remains determined to save his dying mom. His plan? To steal a magical relic from the king of Iloria and use it to release the mythical Wind Sage.

But Varric’s not the only one after the Sage.

When the king orders his men to capture the Wind Sage for his own scheming purposes, Varric and his friends must volunteer for the task. Varric plans to grab the Sage and run, but he’s swept into a whirlwind of disaster when the Sage breaks free and unleashes chaos upon the realms. Varric and his friends must recapture the hostile Sage before she destroys everything—and before Varric’s mom runs out of time.

Varric’s time is up. He must save his mom now or lose her forever.

Varric’s victories in the time realm are quickly overshadowed by looming tragedy—his mom is on the verge of death. Only the ancient magic of the Sages can save her now.

But sinister forces are stirring in the shadows.

Knoll unearths a realm shrouded in darkness and inhabited by creatures of the night. There, he releases the Dark Sage, a powerful being with magic capable of bringing human civilization to ruin. Varric and his friends embark on another dangerous quest to stop Knoll and capture the Sage. And with his mom’s life hanging by a thread, Varric doesn’t have time to waste.

Varric must choose between his sisters and the realms. One survives, and the other dies.

Varric is reeling after the loss of his mom. Now his sisters have been kidnapped, and Knoll is threatening to hurt them unless Varric releases Arakaros. And if Arakaros gets free, he’ll destroy humanity.

Varric must choose between saving his sisters and protecting the realms, but he cannot do both. Saving one sacrifices the other. Even worse, Knoll has given him only one week to release Arakaros before his sisters die. Faced with an impossible choice, Varric sets off on his most dangerous quest yet. He must locate the final key to Arakaros’s prison, release the Ethari king, save his sisters—and then stop Arakaros before he annihilates the human realms.

Arakaros is free. Varric will sacrifice everything to stop him.

Varric knows he’s going to die inside Pellios’s crystal prison. If he escapes, Arakaros escapes, and he can’t let that happen.

But when his friends get trapped inside the crystal, Varric has no choice but to destroy it, releasing Arakaros in the process. The Ethari king launches a devastating assault on the realms, tearing them apart with his destructive magic. If he isn’t stopped, he’ll erase humanity from existence. Varric must find a way to reconcile with Arakaros, because his only other option is to destroy him, igniting an all-out war between the humans and Ethari. Determined to protect everything that he loves, Varric embarks on one last quest to stop Arakaros and unite the realms, even if it costs him everything to do it.
