Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne
The first prequel to the Dragon Age: Origins game, featuring a young Loghain and the father of Cailan and Alistair as they try to free Ferelden from its oppressors.

A game perfectly suited for a novel release, this tale of Son's of Liberty's events may just be a better read than the game is to play.
