Lessa and her golden queen dragon have given their world a fighting chance against the deadly Thread, but that doesn’t mean they are out of danger.

The Oldtimers, the dragons and their riders brought forward in time to combat the Thread, are having a difficult time adjusting to their more modern world, and tensions are rising.

Worse, Threadfall is becoming more unpredictable, making 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.
