About Dragonflight

On the world of Pern, enormous dragons and their riders are the only defense against the deadly Thread that periodically rains from the sky. When a new Weyrwoman is needed, Lessa — a determined young woman hiding in servitude — is chosen by the great golden queen dragon Ramoth, and must help save Pern from annihilation.
