Spoiler warning: contains full Dragon Age lore!
The series of books that will make up The Last Rebellion tells the story of how gods are constructed… and how people begin to doubt them.
I'm not trying to retell DAI. The explosion at the Conclave is the excuse to delve into the dark soul of Solas...
My goal is to revive some of the darkness the Dragon Age world showed us in its early days, and to close out the post-Veilguard lore.
This book is dark fantasy. It's not a classic hopeful story; it's a restrained romance charged with ethical tension.
Book 1 is about power, narrative, identity… and about two beings who begin to choose each other when they still don't know how to do it without destroying the world..
When I began writing this story during the pandemic, I too believed the tale Solas had sold us. But I came to understand it was only one version within a greater fiction. He was, after all, remembered as the god of Lies, Treachery and Rebellion, depending upon the story.
"I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans...That's my man..."
Hi everyone!! I guess this story was born in my head a long time ago (back in DAI), but it has matured over time. I finally started giving it this shape after DAV to close the enigmas that were left lingering in my mind. My idea is a journey leading up to post-Veilguard, passing through some Joplin concepts (at least that's the plan jaja fingers crossed!) all the way to the closing of Thedas' cosmology.
This first book is a deep dive into Solas's mind; it's dark, dense in content and emotions, but it lightens up later on. Any recommendations are welcome! And if there are any fans out there who love debate, know that I do too! 😏
One more thing! I am latina, not a native English speaker. To bring this story to you, I use a mix of Google Translate and AI. While I can speak and read English, I don't yet have the skill to write an entire book in it from scratch. That being said, I personally review every chapter to ensure the translation captures the true intent of the story and follows the official Dragon Age vocabulary. It's quite a challenge because I'm so used to the Spanish translations of the games, but I do extensive research to make sure the English terms are correct!
So, if using AI for translation is a dealbreaker for you, this might be the time to stop reading. However, I want to remind you that the original Spanish version is also available right here on this page! Thanks for sticking with me despite the language barrier!
And one last thing, but very important: the story explores uncomfortable political mindsets through the POV of a morally compromised character. It is not an endorsement of real-world ideologies.
