A devastating winter has crippled the city of Home. The ancient plants that provide warmth and shelter are failing, crime runs rampant, and food is scarce in the treacherous woods that isolate the city from the rest of the world. The government seems concerned only with the imminent census collection, while the military and police forces are powerless to calm citizens’ fears. Some have even said that the Great Tree in the city’s center, a massive and ancient growth stretching past the clouds, has begun to change color from the cold.

Strangest of all, people keep having the same nightmare. And one man, a weaver named Benn, sees Home’s dead walking the streets. They have a message for him, if only he can learn to listen.

Lineage: The Misbegotten begins the chronicle of a completely new science fiction universe. A civilization begins to learn the secrets of its origin, uncovering astounding technologies and a chilling ancestry.
