Dragonquest by Anne Mccaffrey

FINALIST FOR THE LOCUS AWARD * The second novel in the legendary and magical New York Times bestselling series featuring dragons, adventure, romance, and heroism, from Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Anne McCaffrey
 
"Pern was one of the first fantasy worlds I fell into, and I am forever grateful."--Leigh Bardugo, author of Ninth House
 
Lessa and her golden queen dragon may have given their world a fighting chance against the deadly Thread by bringing several hundred dragons and their riders forward in time, but this has also caused other problems to arise. The Oldtimers, as they are known, are having a difficult time adjusting to their more modern world, and tensions are rising. Worse, Threadfall is becoming more unpredictable, which makes it harder to combat.
 
Inspired by Lessa's example, brown dragonrider F'nor hatches a bold plan to cut through these growing tensions by destroying the Thread at its source: the mysterious Red Star. But his quest to go where no man--or dragon--has gone before will risk not only his life, but the heart of a woman who has already lost far more than she can bear. 
 
Don't miss the original trilogy from Anne McCaffrey's beloved Dragonriders of Pern series:
