Raktažodžiai:
The second novel in the legendary and magical bestselling fantasy series from the Hugo and Nebula Award winning author, featuring dragons, adventure, romance, and heroism, perfect for fans of Rebecca Yarros Fourth Wing, Cassandra Clare and Brandon Sanderson.

Anne McCaffrey is one of the titans of this genre, and one of my favorite authors of all time. Brandon Sanderson, New York Times bestselling author of the Mistborn series.

Pern was one of the first fantasy worlds I fell into, and I am forever grateful. Leigh Bardugo, Sunday Times bestselling author of the Six of Crows series and The Familiar

Anne McCaffreys Pern books forever changed how readers looked at dragons...books that shaped a generation and more of fantasy writers. Cassandra Clare, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author



Lessa and her golden queen dragon have given their world a fighting chance against the deadly Thread, but that doesnt mean they are out of danger.

The Oldtimers, the dragons and their riders brought forward in time to combat the Thread, are having a difficult time adjusting to their more modern world, and tensions are rising.

Worse, Threadfall is becoming more unpredictable, making it harder to combat.

Inspired by Lessas example, brown dragonrider Fnor hatches a bold plan to cut through these growing tensions by destroying the Thread at its source: the mysterious Red Star.

But his quest to go where no man or dragon has gone before will risk not only his life, but the heart of a woman who has already lost far more than she can bear.



Dont miss the original trilogy from Anne McCaffreys beloved Dragonriders of Pern series: DRAGONFLIGHT DRAGONQUEST THE WHITE DRAGON

Anne McCaffrey, one of the queens of science fiction, knows exactly how to give her public what it wants * The Times * Anne McCaffreys Pern books forever changed how readers looked at dragonsnot just fearsome beasts to be slain, but bonded warrior partners. She taught a very young me that there was nothing cooler than a dragon you could ride, a dragon that could read your thoughts, that the mastery of a dragon was, basically, the best thing that could happen to you. Combine that with the wonderful world-building of Pern and her unforgettable characters and you get books that shaped a generation and more of fantasy writers. She was a true original. * Cassandra Clare * Anne McCaffreys Dragonriders of Pern series was the formative series for me growing up. My best friend and I would spend hours each day pretending we lived in Pern. The world building opened my eyes to what fantasy could be; the characters introduced me to women in roles of power; and the romances left my young heart aflutter. No series has ever captured my imagination so completely as Pern did. * Susan Dennard * I encountered Dragonflight at the age of eleven and was immediately charmed. Since then, Ive read many, many more of Anne McCaffreys books, and the feeling of Real Magic has never gone away. * Diana Gabaldon * Pern was the birthplace of fantasy in the hearts of so many readers of my generation, and was the first (and only) fandom I was able to fully share with my mother. I dreamt of Harper Hall and fire lizards of my own all the way up to high school. These books were trailblazers, and the land they charted remains as gripping and innovative today as it was upon its discovery. We owe a lot to Pern. * Seanan McGuire * Before there was a Katniss Everdeen or even a Hermione Granger there were Menolly and Killashandra Ree. Many fans grew up to write fantasy and science fiction, paving the way for the next generations of female readers and writersMcCaffreys legacy lives on. * npr.org * She was not only the first woman to win a Hugo award, and the first to win a Nebula, she also skewered the way women were portrayed in science fiction in her debut, Restoree. * Guardian.com *
