Synopsis
Young Lord Jaxom, rider of the unique white dragon Ruth, struggles to prove himself in a society that considers his dragon too small and his claim to Hold leadership too contested. As Jaxom and Ruth forge their own path on the dragon-riding world of Pern, they uncover secrets about the planet's ancient past that could change the future of all its inhabitants.
