Last March, Tor Books released Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne, a novel that served as a prequel to the events in BioWare's upcoming fantasy RPG Dragon Age: Origins. This week Tor Books releases a second novel, Dragon Age: The Calling, to book stores.

The second novel is once again written by the game's lead writer David Gaider and has the lead character of the first book, Maric, now set up as king of the game's land Ferelden. The novel has King Maric leading the forces of the Gray Wardens to find one of their own who has turned bad (we hate when that happens). The trade paperback sells for $14.99. Dragon Age: Origins is due in stores a few weeks later on November 3.
