Thread: deadly silver strands that fall from the sky like rain, devouring every organic thing in their path. It's been two hundred years since Thread supposedly fell on Pern, and only the dragons, originally created to be a weapon against Thread, are left to remind poeple that once before their population was decimated. For two centuries the dragonriders have been practicing and training, passing down the Threadfighting techniques from generation to generation. Now ominous signs are appearing, and dragonriders and Lord Holders are prepared to protect the people--all except Chalkin of Bitra, who refuses to believe the threat of Thread has returned, and his disbelief could spell disaster for all of Pern.
