Description
When a devastating plague sweeps across the world of Pern, threatening the lives of holders and dragonriders alike, one young woman discovers her own strength and purpose in the face of catastrophe. Defying her father's callous indifference to the suffering around them, Nerilka joins the desperate fight against the epidemic, putting aside her own safety to help those in need. This companion novella to Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern explores themes of courage, sacrifice, and personal transformation as Nerilka finds meaning through selfless action during humanity's darkest hour. McCaffrey's intimate portrait of one woman's journey reveals how ordinary individuals can become extraordinary heroes when called upon to serve something greater than themselves.
