Pern  and now the Weyrs are struggling to rebuild before Threadfall destroys everything-and
everyone-left alive. Their best hope lies with a group of new dragonriders who have volunteered
to brave the dangers of an unexplored island populated by vicious wild felines and voracious

replenish Pern's decimated population. But their leader  Xhinna  the first female rider of a

dragons to travel through time. But that power comes with risks: By venturing into the past 
Xhinna may jeopardize the very future she has sworn to save. Memorable characters and a good
balance of individual dramas and large-scale action make this a strong addition to the Pern
saga.-Library Journal Longtime fans will enjoy the latest adventures of the cheerful
dragonriders and their colorful mounts.-Publishers WeeklyMcCaffrey will be remembered  rightly
as one of science fiction's grand masters.-Tordotcom
