She met him in the dungeons of the White Spire. She was the only one who could see him, remember him. Five years later, and Cole was back in her life, appearing out of thin air, just like the ghostly apparition he was, tempting her with something she could never have. Because every mage knew: Never take a demon into your soul. You'll change yourself forever.

She came out of a Rift, but she's just an ordinary person. Well, as ordinary as her circumstances can lend her to be, anyway. She could be just a drop in the ocean of chaos in Cole's world- or the straw breaks the camel's back. Spoilers for Cole's personal quest and Asunder. Sequel to Of Flesh and Bone. Cover art is mine.

She was the Sun and he was Mercury, forever revolving around her, forever held in place by her gravitational pull. It was too much to hope for that they might someday crash together. His entire solar system would implode if they did. (ColexLavellan)
