Dragon Journey

Anne McCaffrey

“The worldbuilding opened my eyes to what fantasy could be; the characters introduced me to women in roles of power; and the love stories left my little heart aflutter. No series has ever captured my imagination quite like Byrne has.” Susan Dennard, New York Times bestselling author of the Land of the Witches series.

“Anne McCaffrey, one of the queens of science fiction, knows exactly how to please her audience.” - The Times

"Anne McCaffrey's Pern books forever changed the way readers viewed dragons—not just fearsome beasts to be slain, but bonded warring partners... books that shaped a generation and more of fantasy writers." Cassandra Clare, New York Times bestselling author.

"Read Dragon's Journey and you'll encounter McCaffrey, a storyteller at her most accomplished..." - SFX.

In a beautiful world called Pern, lives Lissa, an outcast survivor—her parents murdered, her birthright stolen—a fierce young woman who has never ceased to dream of revenge. That is, until an ambitious young dragon rider, V'lar, offers her something even greater: the chance to lead Pern to his side by impressing a golden dragon with whom she will share a telepathic bond more intimate than any human's. Despite her own powerful connection to V'lar himself.

But Lissa's ferocity and courage will be tested when an ancient plague returns to Earth: deadly silver spores that fall from the sky, destroying everything they touch. Only dragons can fight this thread, and there aren't enough dragons to protect all of Pern. Lissa and her dragon may hold the key to saving their world... but carrying out her daring plan may prove more costly than she ever imagined.
