About this ebook

Dragon Age: The Calling by David Gaider is another thrilling prequel to Dragon Age: Origins, the hit role-playing video game from award-winning developer BioWare!

After two hundred years of exile, King Maric has allowed the legendary Grey Wardens to finally return to Ferelden. When they come, however, they bring dire news: one of their own has escaped into the Deep Roads and aligned himself with their ancient enemy, the monstrous darkspawn.

The Grey Wardens need Maric's help, and he reluctantly agrees to lead them into the passages he traveled through many years before, chasing after a deadly secret that will threaten to destroy not only the Grey Wardens but also the Kingdom above.

Ratings and reviews

This really gives you great insight on grey warden, darkspawn, and Duncan's origins. One of the characters makes a surprising cameo in the next book, Asunder. Also tons of action!

I was skeptical at first to read it. Saw some reviews and gave it a try. Loved it, and it gives me a better appreciation for the dragonage universe. Definitely picking up the others as well.

Maric and his thing for elven women, he's still a fool of a king in my opinion.
