Summary: When their parents died, Tesni Mahariel was left to raise her brother Caerwyn with the help of the rest of their clan. True to their penchant for getting into trouble, Caerwyn and Tamlen went hunting one day and ran afoul of a mirror, of all things. The next thing Tesni knew, Caerwyn had been recruited by the Grey Wardens. As if she’d let some shemlen just take her brother away! Determined to keep Caerwyn safe, Tesni goes after them, and antics ensue. She’ll stop the Blight to protect her family, Caerwyn will help--grumbling all the while--and Alistair will do his best to bond with his tattooed and bristly new brethren. When all is said and done, the blurred lines between friendship and blood bonds will draw them down a path that will change all three of them forever.

In this installment, Alistair can't decide what is scarier: the Great Andraste, or a sleepy Caerwyn. Meanwhile, Tesni gets the kick she needs to begin healing.

I'm trying to finally learn proper style rules. I don't know how I got through public school without really knowing them, but there you go.

I noticed there's lots of confusion about capitalization of titles and honorifics.  This is a pretty good guide.

Speech tags, those little thingies that identify who is talking, can be very confusing. Here's a good write-up.

Anyone have any other good sites? I'm always struggling with commas and semi-colons.
