A book set in the Dragon Age universe is to be released March 2009, written by the game’s lead writer David Gaider.

The book is titled ‘Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne‘, and promises George R. R. Martin-esque political machinations as it follows the trials of characters appearing in the game, but 3 decades earlier, before the start of the Dragon Age.

"After his mother, the beloved Rebel Queen, is betrayed and murdered by her own faithless lords, young Maric becomes the leader of a rebel army attempting to free his nation from the control of a foreign tyrant.

His countrymen live in fear; his commanders consider him untested; and his only allies are Loghain, a brash young outlaw who saved his life, and Rowan, the beautiful warrior maiden promised to him since birth. Surrounded by spies and traitors, Maric must find a way to not only survive but achieve his ultimate destiny: Ferelden’s freedom and the return of his line to the stolen throne."
