Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman sold rights to a six-book series to Brian Thomsen at Tor in a seven-figure deal. Dragonships of the Vindras is “an epic fantasy series that conjures a rich new world of dragon-powered ships and Viking-like warriors who are on a quest that will determine the fate of all mortals—and their gods.” The first book in the new series, tentatively titled Bones of the Dragon, is scheduled for hardcover publication in August 2008, with a new book in the series to follow every nine months after that.
