The specter of sickness looms over the Weyrs of Pern, felling
fire-lizards and threatening their dragon cousins, Pern's sole
defense against the deadly phenomenon that is Thread. Fiona, the
young rider of queen dragon Talenth, is about to assume the duties
of a Weyrwoman when word spreads that dragons have begun succumbing
to the new contagion. As more dragons sicken and die, Weyrleader
B'Nik and queen rider Lorana comb Fort Weyr's archives in a
desperate search for clues from the past that may hold the solution
to the plague. But could the past itself prove the pathway to
salvation for Pern's imperiled dragons? Guided by a mysterious ally
from a wholly unexpected place, and trusting in the dragon gift for
transcending time, Fiona will join a risky expedition with
far-reaching consequences for both Pern's future and her personal
destiny.
