A stolen birthright. A telepathic bond. A destiny that could save—or doom—an entire world.
On the world of Pern, Lessa is an outcast, her noble family slaughtered, her home stolen. Fueled by vengeance, she has spent years in the shadows, waiting for her moment to reclaim what was lost. But when a bold dragonrider, F’lar, offers her a different path—one of power, destiny, and a bond with a golden dragon—Lessa is thrust into a future she never imagined.
As deadly silver spores known as Thread rain from the sky, devouring everything in their path, Pern faces annihilation. Only dragons and their riders can fight back—but there are too few left to stand against the coming storm. Lessa may be the key to saving Pern, but only if she is willing to risk everything.
The first novel in the legendary Dragonriders of Pern series—an epic adventure of dragons, courage, and destiny.
