“Laura Anne Gilman makes you care. You care about her characters and their choices; you care about what’s happening to their world.â€
—Walter Jon Williams
It began soon after the Millennium. Reports of newborns with strange malformations, too weak to live…caused by a single genetic mutation. Or, as the press quickly dubbed it, the Dragon Virus. Scientists predicted that it was an evolutionary dead end; that the mutation would burn itself out quickly; that it was nothing to be worried about.
They were wrong.
Everything was about to change.
Six connected stories, charting the end – beginning – of everything we know, everything we fear, everything we hope for….
With an Introduction by Walter Jon Williams
From Whence You Came: A Lands Vin Novella

Centuries before the Vineart War, massive sea-serpents roamed the seas, endangering the lives of all who sailed there. Only the greatest magic could keep them in check, and protect the coastlines from their depredations. And then…they disappeared. Legend credited Master Vineart Bradhai, and called him a hero.
Legend…. is not always accurate. And often, the truth is a better story.
Set in the world of the Nebula Award-nominated Vineart War trilogy
