Then there was Cullen and Lana of course, along with countless other friends she had made over the last few years.

Another tear slid down her cheek, she wanted to go home, but she didn’t trust the man as far as she could throw him with her magic, which wasn’t far. Not that she’d ever tried to throw people with her magic. She also wanted to protect her family, if they came for her, would they meet the same fate. Of course, she knew so little about who had taken her and why. It wasn’t like she was up on news from the north, Ferelden was still barely recovering from the blight ending.
