BOOK DESCRIPTION:
While recent tales of Pern have dealt with early eras
on that turbulent planet, this one begins during the time of Dragonquest and
continues beyond the closing of The White Dragon , focusing on some of the
commoners, and how they cope with the return of the life-consuming Thread. A
number of lives intertwine, such as that of the trader boy Jayge Lilcamp,
whose family is almost destroyed when his father refuses to believe the
first Thread warning. Jayge runs afoul of Thella, sister of the Telgar Hold
lord but a malcontent and leader of renegades, when she tries to kidnap the
refugee girl Aramina, who can hear all dragons. Meanwhile, in the South, the
young harper Piemur finds his destiny, and Toric, the first Holder there,
schemes for supremacy. McCaffrey paints her colorful world on a still larger
canvas, maintaining the complex plots and strong characterization that
permeate her work.
A dangerous woman's desire for revenge and a young girl's talent for hearing
dragons become the catalysts that challenge the old traditions of Weyr,
Hold, and Hall that have long defined life on Pern. McCaffrey continues her
popular series with a story of exploration and adventure that focuses on a
younger generation of characters as they begin to discover pieces of their
ancient past
