A fragment of a sentence connects people and worlds in this anthology where all tales begin with, "The letter was unreadable, save for the last few words."Explore winding paths through snowy streets in a corrupt, fallen kingdom and everyday lives turned upside down by unexpected news. Soar in sleek airships above mystical rebellions in the Australian Outback and dive into the dangers of a tropical island on Earths which never were. Find out a loving mother's final words, what the IRS wants with an unorganized coffee shop owner, and what a love letter from a vampire is like. Fourteen fascinating stories await within this collection.
