Volume I of The Dragonriders of Pern(R), the groundbreaking series by
master storyteller Anne McCaffrey
On a beautiful world called Pern, an ancient way of life is about to
come under attack from a myth that is all too real. Lessa is an outcast
survivor--her parents murdered, her birthright stolen--a strong young
woman who has never stopped dreaming of revenge. But when an ancient
threat to Pern reemerges, Lessa will rise--upon the back of a great
dragon with whom she shares a telepathic bond more intimate than any
human connection. Together, dragon and rider will fly . . . and Pern
will be changed forever.
