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



When Lessa chose a dragon over her birthright, the hold she was to have inherited passed to Lord Jaxom instead.

But Jaxom then muddied generations of Pern tradition by impulsively Impressing Ruth, a small, white dragon, as a child.

From that moment on, the debate has raged: Is Jaxom now a dragonrider, or a lord holder?

All anyone agrees on is that he cannot be both.

Now, with Jaxom on the cusp on adulthood, the thing he and Ruth most desire is to fight Thread side-by-side with the larger dragons. Jaxom knows what his dragon is capable of, and now that he is mostly grown, he is determined to buck tradition.

Can this teenage rebellion be the key to both Perns salvation and winning the woman of his dreams?

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 * Anne McCaffrey is one of the titans of this genre, and one of my favorite authors of all time. If youre reading this, these books are worth your time. Full stop. * Brandon Sanderson * Pern is where dragon riding was conceived, and fifty years later, Anne McCaffreys epic tale remains a masterpiece of adventure, intrigue, and romance! * Danielle L. Jensen * 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 *
